It’s not just that the team has lost six captains. The team outright released the majority of them. Here’s how each player departed New England in recent months.
-
C David Andrews - Cut during the offseason, later retired.

-
DE Deatrich Wise Jr . - Contract expired, left in free agency.
-
LB Ja’Whaun Bentley - Cut in March.
-
LS Joe Cardona - Cut in April.
-
S Jabrill Peppers - Cut on Friday.
Technically, the Patriots have not lost every one of their captains from last season. After Peppers was suspended, safety Kyle Dugger was elevated to a captain . However, even Dugger’s status on the roster has been a sure thing as the safety was named in trade rumors throughout the summer.
Additionally, after a season-ending injury to Bentley, tight end Hunter Henry was also named a captain in October.
