Summary

The New England Patriots are evaluating potential solutions for their edge rusher position ahead of training camp. Veteran Harold Landry III is expected to start the season on the physically unable to perform list, while rookie Gabe Jacas has yet to sign his contract and missed spring practices. Four emergency options include signing Jadeveon Clowney, trading for Kayvon Thibodeaux, and bringing back Kyle Van Noy or signing Derek Barnett to bolster the roster. The team looks to enhance depth and effectiveness on the edge before the season begins.
