Patriots Should Sign Five-Time Pro Bowler Who's Still Available In Free Agency
Patriots Should Sign Five-Time Pro Bowler Who's Still Available In Free Agency originally appeared on NESN . Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The New England Patriots pass rush was not great last season, and while they've addressed it, they could still use more depth.
The Patriots had just 35 sacks last season. They made the Super Bowl in spite of a weaker pass rush. This offseason, they lost K'Lavon Chaisson and replaced him with Dre-Mont Jones.
They also drafted Gabe Jacas in the second round. While those moves could help the pass rush, the team is seemingly still interested in adding some depth to the pass rush. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport , the team is working out free agent defensive end Janarius Robinson on Tuesday.
While Robinson could be a low-risk, high-reward type of signing, if the Patriots want more help in the pass rush department, there are some proven veterans still available in free agency. Joey Bosa, a five-time Pro Bowler, is still a free agent and would seemingly make a bigger impact than someone like Robinson. Bosa spent last season with the Buffalo Bills, but he is not the player he once was.
He had just five sacks last season and has not posted a double-digit sack season since 2021. He is going into his 11th season and could be a cheap, low-risk addition for the Patriots. At the very least, he could be a rotational pass rusher.
