Following Ted Karras’ free agency departure and the trade that sent fellow starting guard Shaq Mason to Tampa Bay, the New England Patriots are left with plenty of questions along their offensive line. What we do know, however, is that they are not trying to answer them by recklessly throwing money around.

With Karras and Mason no longer part of the equation, and with no pricey veterans brought aboard through free agency or trade this offseason, the Patriots are now near the bottom of the league in cash spending along the offensive line.
