James White, a three-time Super Bowl champion and Patriot since 2014, is going to be a free agent in just over a week for the second year in a row. Like last year, the Patriots should bring him back into the fold for 2022 to bolster their already strong running back group. White, 30, played in only three games in 2021 before suffering a hip injury that ended his season….
The Patriots have released veteran linebacker Kyle Van Noy, freeing up $5 million dollars of cap space. Van Noy was still a relatively productive player last season finishing with 66 tackles, 5 sacks and an interception. In the end, however, his 2022 cap number wasn’t worth that kind of production. The Patriots needed to free up cap space and they wanted to start the process of re-tooling the linebacker room….

Teams around the league, specifically the New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers have been busy the past week moving money around in an effort to create cap space. Luckily, the Patriots are not in the same boat as those two teams. According to our good friend Miguel Benzan at @patscap, the Patriots currently have $4.896,056 in cap space. That is not a lot. The cap is expected to reach…
The window to place the franchise tag on unrestricted free agents opened yesterday. Teams have until March 8th to place the franchise tag on any of their unrestricted free agents. Once a team tags a player, the player can either chose to sign the franchise tag or refuse to sign it. If they sign it, they return to the club for one year and earn an average salary of the…
Speculation has been rampant recently that former Patriots defensive coordinator and Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia would become the Patriots primary offensive play caller in 2022. Now before you get up, walk over to your bathroom and vomit, you might want to know that Patricia does have some “offensive experience” with the Patriots. He served as an offensive assistant in 2004 and as the assistant offensive line coach to…

Hardegree will coach the quarterbacks, Lombardi was named offensive coordinator and Bricillo will coach the offensive line. McDaniels will…
