The New England Patriots spent a ton of money in free agency last year to address several different roster weaknesses.
Some of these players ended up playing meaningful roles in the Patriots' turnaround in 2021 (Kendrick Bourne, Matthew Judon), while others failed to live up to expectations (Jonnu Smith).
The Patriots weren't loaded with salary cap space this offseason, so there was no huge spending spree on premium talent. Instead, the Patriots will have to search the free agent market for bargains and hit a home run or two in the upcoming draft.
