Graff doesn\u2019t see Jonathan Jones or Deatrich Wise, a pair of unrestricted free agents, extending their respective tenures in Foxboro, Mass.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJones will be 32 next season, an age that isn\u2019t typically kind to outside cornerbacks, so he could be in store for a permanent move to safety,\u201d Graff wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWise, meanwhile, who will be 31 next season, has played an important role for the Pats in recent years. But they\u2019re switching defensive schemes for the first time this century and Wise might not be seen as the right fit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots would be losing more than on-field production if both Jones and Wise walked. A leadership void also would be created by those exits, as Jones has been with New England since 2016 and Wise, a 2024 captain, was a fourth-round pick in 2017.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>But that simply would mean other players in the locker room need to step up, and the Patriots seem to have candidates for those roles already in house.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Patriots insider believes a pair of longtime leaders in New England will leave the organization in free agency this offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12263,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
