No franchise tags for the Pats; Breaking down salary cap with Miguel Benzan - a podcast by NBC Sports Boston

1:18 - Tom Curran and Phil Perry discuss the Patriots not giving out any franchise tags before Tuesday afternoon's deadline and wonder if the move makes sense for New England.

2:59 - Now that he's a free agent, what will the market for Trey Flowers look like and what does his future hold?

7:23 - Left tackle Trent Brown is another player who will test free agency and will leave a hole in the Patriots offensive line. Phil and Tom discuss who could slide into that spot and wonder if Isaiah Wynn be ready for the role.

12:20 - "If you're in a situation where you might be dealing with a different kicker and a different punter, that's too much change." Phil and Tom talk about how the Patriots should try to re-sign both Stephen Gostkowski and Ryan Allen.

15:10 - Eric Rowe, Cordarrelle Patterson, Chris Hogan and Jason McCourty are some more players that might not return to New England. Which one's should the Patriots try to retain?

19:14 - Tom is joined by Patriots salary cap guru Miguel to discuss the current cap amount and if it is high enough for the Pats to make any significant moves once free agency begins.

26:59 - Miguel explains how he would structure a new contract from Rob Gronkowski if he decided to return to the Patriots in 2019. Tom also asks Miguel how the Patriots should deal with the key players they chose not to give franchise tags to.
