Off season Outlook

The Patriots have some decisions to make in the off-season, with 7 starters being impending unrestricted free agents. Most of them should re-sign, but they still have some holes to fill. Most of their concerns should come from their receivers and their linebacking corps. Randy Moss is still the man, but Wes Welker is unlikely to be ready for the start of the season. Julian Edelman is still a developing player so look for the Patriots to target a receiver in the round one. A linebacker could also be brought in, considering the Patriots have a non-existant pass rush.
