Patriots roundup 8-8-2020

Here are some stories going around the league at the moment about the Patriots that have either been played out or don't have enough for an article of their own.

Patriots still probing the free agent market. Met with Jordan Leggett and Barius Kilgo. 

Team coaching staff met with media. Didn't say much. Enjoying challenge, receiving core is impressing staff. Belichick not happy with zoom.

Patriots may play in front of 14 thousand fans, all depends on the covid. Don't expect things to remain the same.

The Patriots may move to more  five man fronts with depleted linebacking unit. Patriots don't normally tip their hands but defensive line group will be ready.

Questions emerge on if the Patriots are making a play for DeSean Watson after meeting with tight end Leggett.

Patriots roster is embracing the next man up mentality this season. Going to be a competitive camp.

Media asks: Does Joe Thuney, the best Patriots offensive lineman deserve a long term contract from the Patriots?

It makes sense for the Patriots to attempt to roll over every bit of salary cap they can due to covid shrinking the 2021 cap space. Honestly, the league should leave the cap space alone unless they expect more trouble in 2021.
