At the New England Patriots begin to look towards the 2021 season, one member of the organization thinks big changes are coming.
Cornerback Jason McCourty indicated that he believed things will look a little bit different in Foxboro next year. Between free agent signings, draft picks, and re-signing current players on the roster, Bill Belichick has a lot of work to do in order to be competitive for 2021. There are going to be some tough decisions to be had for this organization in the coming months.
McCourty indicates that he could see changes coming to the locker room in preparation for 2021.
“No matter what, things change,” McCourty said after the Patriots’ loss to the Bills Monday night. “I think when you have a season like we did this year and you’re not going to the playoffs, you have embarrassing losses, this roster’s going to be a lot different. There’s a lot of guys that are in the locker room tonight that aren’t going to be in the locker room next year. Guys that are playing football right now that aren’t going to be playing football next year.
“For us, we have one more opportunity left together so whoever’s out there – young, old or indifferent, we’ve got to go out there and compete.”
In what is going to be an offseason of retooling, it will be interesting to see what the roster looks like for next fall.
