5 Patriots who could be cap casualties this offseason

These five players could be cut to give the Patriots more cap space this offseason.

2. K Stephen Gostkowski

Gostkowski is set to be the highest-paid kicker in the NFL this season with a cap hit of $5.45 million. Cutting him would save the team roughly $3.18 million in 2020.

The kicker spent most of the year on injured reserve last season after having surgery on a torn labrum. At 36, and returning from a serious injury, it’s fair to question whether or not Gostkowski can return to form. It would make sense for the Patriots to seriously consider trying to lower his cap number or flat out release him and bring in a rookie.
