Patriots: Should they stay or should they go? Which of their free agents should the Patriots re-sign?

The Patriots have 18 free agents. 16 of them are unrestricted free agents and there are some familiar names on the list including Devin McCourty, Trent Brown, Dont’a Hightower, J.C Jackson and Ted Karras. So who should Bill Belichick bring back? Well, much of that will depend on cap space and the Patriots don’t have a lot of it. They currently have just over $10 million in space. Here is…
