The New England Patriots are heading into unfamiliar territory with the 2020 offseason.

After the 2018 season, the Patriots were coming off of a Super Bowl win and Tom Brady’s future with the team was clear. After the 2019 season, the Patriots got bounced in the wild-card round and their 42-year-old quarterback is entering free agency. There’s a sense of uncertainty that’s lingered around New England and the reality of the team’s future will be determined soon.

So, how will the Patriots move forward?

Regardless of Brady’s future with the team, Bill Belichick will still put together a roster geared for a championship run. Some of the best players on team are entering free agency or simply getting older, so this time around will be a bit more tricky.

Here are biggest offseason needs.

Quarterback

Whether or not Brady returns, the Patriots have a dire need for their future quarterback. They could acquire a veteran, draft one, or they could experiment and see if Jarrett Stidham is ready to take over. If Brady does leave, it’s possible that New England brings in a proven veteran to compete with Stidham for the starting role, while continuing to mentor him.

A few veterans that would make sense for New England include Teddy Bridgewater, Jacoby Brissett, Nick Foles, Derek Carr or even Cam Newton. One of these players could help teach a younger quarterback, while keeping the Patriots competitive. This is all if Brady decides to take his talents elsewhere.

Brady shared a post saying that he still has more to prove, so it’s also very possible that the Patriots have him at the helm in 2020.
