New England Patriots Off-season Outlook: Offensive Line
The Patriots struggled to find help in the middle of the line beyond Stork and Wendell as veteran Dan Connolly struggled with injuries. While Connolly had his challenges in pass protection, the line passed the eye test and performed more consistently. Connolly is a free agent after surprisingly staying all three years and all of his $9.75 million contract he signed after a break-out 2011 season. Replacing long-time left guard Logan Mankins was not an easy task.
How do the Patriots fix their biggest weakness for 2015? Is it the draft? Free agency? In-house development?
