11 Patriots veterans who will be on the roster bubble in 2020

There will be no shortage of roster battles in New England.

The defensive end position is sort of an oddity in the front that they ran last season. New England generally had three defensive linemen or fewer on the field, which makes a lanky athlete like Wise a small role player. If New England favors four-man fronts more often in 2020, then perhaps Wise will get more work. In the meantime, he’s a situational player who could potentially lose his job to the arrival of a handful of rookie edge players. Nick Coe, for example, may end up being a source of competition for Wise.
