After a disappointing end to a record-setting season, the Patriots are facing a number of questions in the coming off-season.
The biggest question of all might be the future of Randy Moss, who broke an NFL record for touchdown receptions during the regular season, but caught only seven passes for one touchdown in the playoffs.
Moss could become a free agent. The same is true for Pro Bowl cornerback Asante Samuel, who played this past season under the franchise designation.
Then there is the question about several older players who could consider retirement. That list includes safety Rodney Harrison, linebacker Tedy Bruschi and 39-year-old linebacker Junior Seau, who came out of retirement to play for the Patriots but fell short of his goal of winning his first Super Bowl ring.
Wide receiver Troy Brown saw little action this year after offseason knee surgery and also could retire.
The Patriots lost their first-round draft pick in the "Spygate" scandal, but still own the 7th overall pick in the 2008 draft, from a trade with the San Francisco 49ers.
The Pats will be back in Boston at around 7 p.m. Monday and in Foxborough at around 8 p.m. at the latest.
