Ranking Patriots’ most chaotic offensive positions entering 2024 offseason originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots offense is broken.
This group is scoring an NFL-low 12.3 points per game and was shutout for the second time this season during Sunday’s Week 13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The Patriots don’t have a quality starting quarterback. The wide receiver depth chart lacks a true No. 1 option. There are no tight ends signed beyond this season.

They don’t have a starting tackle.
“That to me has to be No. 1 because at least at quarterback, while I would rank that their greatest need, at least you do have bodies. At receiver, you have bodies. At tackle, you have nothing.

With Trent Brown able to become a free agent in the offseason, the left tackle spot — one of the most important positions in the sport — is a huge concern.
Perry then revealed his ranking of the most chaotic offensive positions on the Patriots roster.

No. 4: Running back
No. 5: Guard
No. 6:…
