A look at New England’s roster as free agency unfolds.

Coming off a disappointing season, the New England Patriots have plenty of work to do to get back into the playoff mix. That work starts in free agency, with several players up for new contracts and talent to be added to a squad that went just 8-9 a year ago.

The depth chart below, based on an idea from our friends at Pride Of Detroit, is designed to give fans a brief overview of where the team stands at this point in the process. Players who are projected as starters have been marked accordingly (asterisk*), as are players currently not under contract for 2023 (italics).

So, with that said, let’s take a look at New England’s current depth chart.
