Tom E. Curran on the Patriots free-agent signings on defense at every level, and the trickle down effect to Keion White and others on the roster

As expected, the New England Patriots have been among the most active teams in NFL free agency.

Most of their focus to this point has been on upgrading their defense. They've reportedly agreed to deals with defensive tackles Milton Williams and Khyiris Tonga, cornerback Carlton Davis, and linebackers Harold Landry and Robert Spillane. On the offensive side, they reportedly will re-sign tight end Austin Hooper, sign veteran quarterback Josh Dobbs and wide receiver Mack Hollins, and bring in veteran right tackle Morgan Moses.

We should expect more moves where that came from in the coming days. To keep up with all of New England's offseason additions, check out our updated depth chart below throughout the spring. (New additions are in bold.)

Quarterback

  • Drake Maye
  • Josh Dobbs
  • Joe Milton III

Drake Maye is locked in as New England's franchise quarterback. Fellow 2024 draftee Joe Milton III showed in the 2024 season finale he could be a capable backup. Veteran signal-caller Josh Dobbs was reportedly added to the mix Monday on a two-year contract.

Running back

  • Rhamondre Stevenson
  • Antonio Gibson
  • Terrell Jennings

Running back is a sneaky offseason need for the Patriots following another disappointing year for Rhamondre Stevenson. Antonio Gibson was solid in his debut campaign with New England, but bolstering this group should be on Mike Vrabel and Eliot Wolf's to-do list.

Wide receiver

  • DeMario Douglas
  • Kendrick Bourne
  • Mack Hollins
  • Kayshon Boutte
  • Ja'Lynn Polk
  • Javon Baker
  • JaQuae Jackson
  • John Jiles

The Patriots dipped into the receiver market and signed Mack Hollins to a two-year contract. With Chris Godwin off the board, the next best free-agent options are Amari Cooper and Stefon Diggs. Cooper Kupp and Brandon Aiyuk are still available on the trade market.

Tight end

  • Hunter Henry
  • Austin Hooper
  • Jaheim Bell
  • Jack Westover
  • Giovanni Ricci

The Patriots are reportedly re-signing Austin Hooper to a one-year deal after the veteran's solid debut season in Foxboro.

Offensive line

  • Vederian Lowe, T
  • Cole Strange, G
  • Garrett Bradbury, C
  • Ben Brown, C
  • Lecitus Smith, C
  • Mike Onwenu, G
  • Morgan Moses, T
  • Sidy Sow, T
  • Caedan Wallace, T
  • Demontrey Jacobs, T
  • Layden Robinson, G
  • Wes Schweitzer, G
  • Jake Andrews, G
  • Tyrese Robinson, G
  • Caleb Jones, T

Veteran tackle Morgan Moses should stabilize the right side of the line, but the Patriots still desperately need a left tackle. Will they use their No. 4 overall draft pick to address that need and select LSU's Will Campbell?

Defensive line

Defensive end

  • Keion White
  • Truman Jones

Defensive tackle

  • Milton Williams
  • Christian Barmore
  • Jeremiah Pharms Jr.
  • Khyiris Tonga
  • Eric Johnson II
  • Jaquelin Roy
  • Marcus Harris

The Patriots paid up for ex-Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams, and for good reason. Williams is a major upgrade to a defensive line that could be pretty scary if Christian Barmore is healthy. If Barmore remains out, Williams should help make up for his absence.

New England also reportedly inked former Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga to a one-year deal.

Linebacker

Inside Linebacker

  • Ja’Whaun Bentley
  • Jahlani Tavai
  • Jack Gibbens
  • Curtis Jacobs
  • Christian Elliss
  • Monty Rice
  • Andrew Parker Jr.

Outside Linebacker

  • Harold Landry III
  • Robert Spillane
  • Anfernee Jennings
  • Titus Leo

Landry and Spillane will give New England's pass rush a much-needed boost. Both have experience playing under Vrabel and defensive coordinator Terrell Williams.

Cornerback

  • Christian Gonzalez
  • Carlton Davis
  • Marcus Jones
  • Isaiah Bolden
  • Marcellas Dial
  • Miles Battle
  • DJ James

The Patriots found their No. 2 cornerback in Davis, who has 11 career interceptions in 89 career games spent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Detroit Lions.

Safety

  • Kyle Dugger
  • Jabrill Peppers
  • Marcus Epps
  • Marte Mapu
  • Jaylinn Hawkins
  • Dell Pettus
  • Brenden Schooler
  • Mark Perry

Epps joins the group as a high-upside depth option coming off a torn ACL.

Specialists

  • Bryce Baringer, P
  • John Parker Romo, K
  • Joe Cardona, LS

With Joey Slye hitting free agency, John Parker Romo is the only kicker currently under contract with New England.
