Former Patriots OL Ranked Among NFL's Top Remaining Free Agents
Following the conclusion of his fifth season with the New England Patriots, offensive lineman Isaiah Wynn hit the open market to become a free agent. However, as Summer draws near, the 27-year-old still waits for a team to sign him.
Despite no longer having a spot on the Patriots, there remains a possibility for Wynn to find a new home with another NFL team. In a recent article ESPN, Wynn is ranked as the fifth-best option among the 13 remaining free agents.
Here's ESPN's reasoning on why he believes Wynn is one of the top players available:
"Wynn started just seven games for the Patriots this past season, logging a pass rush win rate of 87.2% (outside the top 40)," ESPN writes. "Despite injuries and an uneven start to his pro career -- he started only 40 games during his four years in New England -- Wynn has high-end traits. He's a good mover with upper-body power and the footwork to play inside or on the edge of the pocket."
In the 2022 season, Wynn faced an unexpected shift from his familiar left tackle position to right tackle during training camp. Unfortunately, his season was further hampered by a foot injury, limiting him to just nine games before being placed on season-ending injured reserve in December. His underwhelming performance in 2022 has undoubtedly impacted his market value as a free agent.
Despite Wynn's setbacks, he remains an enticing option for teams needing to bolster their offensive line because of his potential.
