The executive summary of the Patriots’ 2021 season paints an optimistic picture of the franchise: After missing the playoffs in their first season without Tom Brady, the Patriots added several new players, found a quarterback in Mac Jones, and bounced back with a 10-7 record and a spot in the postseason.

Analyzing the Patriots' free agent acquisitions after their first season in New England
WR Kendrick Bourne Contract: Three years, $15 million 2021 statistics: 18 games, 62 catches, 877 yards, 7 TDs The fifth-year veteran was one of the biggest bargains of the leaguewide free agent class. He was durable, versatile — he rushed for 125 yards and threw a touchdown pass — and his positive energy was infectious.
