It will be a crossroads for the New England Patriots in 2023 with many of their key contributors listed as pending free agents.
Things get even trickier with the team basically falling off a cliff, especially on the offensive side of the ball, in the 2022 season. They finished the year with an 8-9 record and missed the playoffs for the second time in three seasons.
The inevitable change that’s to come won’t just be with the coaching staff. This could be the year where we see some household names and legendary figures for the franchise say their goodbyes.
The good news is the team will have a lot of money to play with if they wanted to keep their current roster intact. According to Spotrac.com, the Patriots are ranked eighth in the NFL with $45,191,040 in projected 2023 cap space.
