It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Does anyone have a pointer to a current list of all the NE players who became free agents at the end of the season and what their current statuses are? Ideally it would be something like:
John Doe - still unsigned
Richard Roe - signed with NE for 3 years
Joe Smith - signed with XXX for 5 years
etc.
So, Van Noy is going to be the key FA for us next year.

OK, so for you, the loss of Van Noy would be more important that that of Devin McCourty or Thuney.
Sounds right. I’m with the posters suggesting KVN is key. I’m higher on Harmon than most on here, so I could live with KVN and Harmon going into 2020.As of right now, the most important FA in 2020 is the GOAT.
2nd is DMc.
3rd is KVN
Tom is still the QB I want on the playoffs. That's worth everythingSounds right. I’m with the posters suggesting KVN is key. I’m higher on Harmon than most on here, so I could live with KVN and Harmon going into 2020.
Will be unpopular opinion, but Brady did slip some last year. No, I’m not saying I want him gone. No, I’m not saying a replacement will do better. I am saying that compared to HIS lofty standards, 2018 was not up to par. And I suspect we’ll see more and more un-Brady-like play going forward.
I want to see lotsa running and D in 2019. That way, some of the pressure will be off Brady, who has carried so so many squads since his arrival.
Can’t argue with that logic.Tom is still the QB I want on the playoffs. That's worth everything

On the BSJ, Chris Price, in his Sunday post, noted that there will be 23 UFA's at the end of this season. He noted that list includes: Brady, Devin McCourty, Kyle Van Noy and Joe Thuney.
Another note of interest from his notes, which highlighted the great expectations of K'neal Harry. He added a "best of list" of the stats of all the rookie WR's the Pats have had going back to Jim Couclaugh in 1960. Terry Glenn led the way with 900 yds, but in the Bellichick era it was Aaron Dobson who had 519 yds in his rookie year.
One very interesting stat was the the guy who had the best catch percentage AND the most yards per target was Malcolm Mitchell. So sad that his promise was snuffed out so early by injuries.
BTW- it was a great "notes" article by Price with comments from Harry's trainer, wondering why Edelman has never been a captain, and a great story about BB Todd Sauerbrun and Pacman Jones. If you have an extra $5/mo and are a Boston sports fan, it's worth it just for the football coverage. but they do a great job on the other sports as well. IMHO

I would guess Thuney if any.I expect at least 2 of those 3 to be gone next year.
I think McCourty retires and Van Noy will command a healthy salary in 2020.I would guess Thuney if any.
DMc either retires on re-signs on the cheap.
