Patriots 2024 training camp preview: Interior defensive line appears to be in good shape

Aside from releasing veteran Lawrence Guy, extending Christian Barmore and signing Armon Watts in free agency, the New England Patriots’ interior defensive line has had a relatively quiet offseason so far. A relative lack of headlines is not a bad thing, however.

There was no need for any splashy moves outside of the Barmore extension, after all; the Patriots’ D-line was a steady unit already coming off 2023. The expectation is that little will change in that regard heading into 2024.

Depth chart

At the moment, the Patriots have nine interior D-linemen on their roster, ranging from big-bodied nose tackles like Davon Godchaux to hybrid end-of-line players like Deatrich Wise Jr.
