Some inside the league are projecting that deal to land somewhere between $21-23 million per year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If Stanley comes off the market, that would definitely be disappointing.\u00a0 Los Angeles&#8217; Alaric Jackson was another potential player who was set to hit free agency, but he ended up re-signing with the Rams.\u00a0 Stanley dropping out would further dilute the pool, given that just a few weeks ago, he and Jackson were thought to be the two best potential tackle options available for the Patriots.<\/p>\n<p>From there, there&#8217;s essentially Minnesota&#8217;s Cam Robinson, with Reiss pointing out there&#8217;s a connection with Robinson and New England offensive line coach Doug Marrone.\u00a0 Marrone both drafted and coached Robinson for four years while he was the head coach for Jacksonville, which could play a factor in him potentially landing here.\u00a0 But if not, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2025\/02\/12\/2025-patriots-free-agency-fixing-things-at-tackle-has-to-be-the-priority\/\"><strong>the talent drops dramatically after that<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The problem then simply becomes, as head coach Mike Vrabel pointed out during his press conference last week, the fewer players available, the more expensive and difficult it becomes to sign them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like to shop like everybody else,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2025\/02\/25\/transcript-mike-vrabels-press-conference-2-25\/\"><strong>said Vrabel last week<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 &#8220;When you go and there\u2019s only one of a certain car, maybe you have to pay a little bit more for that one car because there\u2019s only one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And if Stanley stays in Baltimore, that may be all that&#8217;s left for a Patriots team that still doesn&#8217;t have one. Otherwise, the rest are questionable and may not provide the answer this team desperately needs to find ahead of next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s no secret
