The Patriots will begin preparing for the offseason after their loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX on Sunday. One of the key issues New England faces is determining whom to pursue in free agency and whom to let go.<\/p>\n

One player the Patriots may consider parting ways with is pass rusher K\u2019Lavon Chaisson, who will enter free agency. However, CBS Sports\u2019 Zachary Pereles believes that re-signing Chaisson should be a priority<\/a> for New England this offseason.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe\u00a0Patriots\u00a0spent the most money in free agency last year, but\u00a0K\u2019Lavon Chaisson\u00a0was arguably their best bang-for-your-buck deal,\u201d Pereles wrote on Thursday. \u201cOn a one-year $3 million deal, Chaisson had a career-high 7.5 sacks (and added three more in the postseason). At 26, Chaisson should have a robust market.\u201d<\/p>\n

New England signed Chaisson to a one-year, three-million-dollar deal last offseason, and he had a great season. He recorded 7.5 sacks in 16 games and was a major reason the defense took a giant leap this season.<\/p>\n

Due to Chaisson\u2019s outstanding season, it will likely cost the Patriots more to bring him back, as Spotrac recently valued his market value at nine million per season.<\/p>\n

Chaisson has played six seasons in the NFL and might be seeking a long-term deal this offseason to secure a stable home for the remainder of his career.<\/p>\n
