Bill Awarded Future Contracts, New England Is On To 2022.

The Patriots signed six names to futures contracts. Of those six most will be camp bodies but there are two names to keep an eye on. Kristian Wilkerson and Quinn Nordin. This doesn't make either a lock to be in camp come August but the Patriots seem to like them.

Let's start with Nordin. He spent part of the season on the injured reserve before being placed on the practice squad. The Patriots spent a lot of time in the offseason with Nordin but his accuracy was inconsistent at best. If Nick Folk is re-signed Nordin could spend another season on the practice squad. The same is true if they draft a kicker but I think if Folk is not brought back that Nordin will be in a competition for the job.

Wilkerson got some time towards the end of the season. He's more of a Z than an X in my opinion. The Patriots tried him while Agholor was out. He's shown chemistry with Jones and could sneak on to the roster as a number 4 receiver in 2022. Him and Harry seem like they're set for a battle if Harry is still around in 2022. Wilkerson could be a play maker but only if he doesn't have to fill in for a bigger role.

Future contracts means the team has started their moves for 2022. The players are taking some time to rest but I'm pretty sure Belichick is hard at work preparing for the upcoming free agency and draft. I think Bill needs to give his Coordinators some film to watch to learn improve their play calling but it's good to know Bill isn't sleeping. Patriots nation we're on to 2022.
