The New England Patriots have so much depth that they’re going to have a very difficult time deciding how to complete their 53-man roster. Coach Bill Belichick has a particularly challenging puzzle of whittling down the depth chart in 2021.
After spending huge money in free agency, the Patriots only added eight rookies in the draft, electing not to sign any undrafted free agents. It was clear New England knew it had a highly talented roster. There was a surplus of experience and versatility. The roster was unlikely to have space for young and developing youngsters. The Patriots will need to trim and shuffle talent through to the practice squad.
