This offseason, the Patriots have treated their outside linebacker position like it's set. Even after releasing Kyle Van Noy, who played almost 500 snaps on the edge last season, there wasn't an impact player added there.
Outside of Matt Judon, there's little certainty at that spot, and it's one of the most expensive positions in the sport. Still, nothing to buttress that area of Bill Belichick's roster. No big-money free-agent additions made. No trades. No draft picks expended there.
Safe to say, it seems, the Patriots must like what they have there.
