Patriots’ 2025 NFL free agency class, ranked from most to least important

With NFL free agency week only four days away, and the official start of the new league year coming up at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 12, the New England Patriots have less than a dozen players headed for the open market. A series of transactions reduced the group from originally 17 to 11, giving the Patriots a relatively manageable list to work through.

The original assessment from earlier this offseason still holds true, though: a lack of star power is the defining feature of New England’s 2025 class of free agents. That does not mean there are no players worth keeping around.
