The New England Patriots usually seem to be a team that has all the answers.

Just look at some of the questions that hovered over the team in the last year: Tom Brady was suspended four games, so what did the Patriots do? They used two backups and went 3-1 without Tommy Touchdown. They were down 28-3 in the Super Bowl, and how did they finish? The offense wore out the Atlanta Falcons defense with sustained drives and pulled out a win in overtime.

The Patriots have had plenty of answers to questions this offseason too—and they've repeatedly come up with answers.

Brandin Cooks was added to boost the offense; Dont'a Hightower was allowed to test the market but returned to the team on a long-term deal; and Malcolm Butler was unhappy with his situation but is playing good soldier, at least for this season.

Dating back to the beginning of last season and running through today, the Patriots have answered just about every question that has popped up about the team. Yet, there are still a few question marks remaining—even for know-it-all New England—as we creep toward training camp.

We're going to examine those remaining questions here and provide our thoughts on each.
