The positions I see the Pats needing help in are:
Safety, OLB, ILB, NT, FB, OT, OG
What veterans are out there that the Pats would consider trading for? And are there any viable or better options via the draft or via free agency?
The following list are the players that are still available according to NFL.COM (so any mistakes, please offer corrections). They are not necessarily who I think the Pats should sign. Also, I did not include any RFAs.
Surprisingly, there are still some big names out there. But there are also some well known names that would have to pass a physical before they could be signed and they'd be injuries waiting to happen.
