There’s no panic in New England. No worries about how can the Patriots possibly replace Trey Flowers, Trent Brown and Cordarrelle Patterson who all signed free agent deals elsewhere.

In fact, the true measure of how much, faith and confidence fans have in New England is that there really is no panic. Even talk radio callers, among the the most overcaffeinated usually, have been mostly reasonable, leaving the absurd opinions to Twitter.

It’s not that Flowers, Brown and Patterson weren’t really good players. They were outstanding players. Brown received the largest contract ever for an offensive lineman and Flowers was Pro Football Focus’ best free agent available. Patterson was a huge asset in the return game, filled in at running back and was a unique weapon at receiver.

Two months ago, Flowers, Brown and to a slightly lesser degree Patterson were being praised for their considerable contributions to another Patriots Super Bowl appearance. Now they’re headed elsewhere. In most fanbases, that would be cause for panic.

Not here.

The Patriots success has outlasted every player but Tom Brady.

Jamie Collins, Wes Welker, Chandler Jones,Ty Law, Richard Seymour, Willie McGinest, Nate Solder, Brandin Cooks, Danny Amendola, Dion Lewis, Malcolm Butler etc. all left either by trade or as free agents and the train kept going. The results speak for themselves.

In Brown’s case, some of that faith is belief in Dante Scarnecchia. If Brown is honest with himself, he’s buying the Patriots’ offensive line wizard a Lexus or sending Scarnecchia and his wife on a cruise through Hawaii. Brown is the latest offensive lineman to unlock his potential under the veteran coach’s tutelage.

That’s why Patriots fans aren’t worried about who is replacing Brown. Solder left and Brown became a star. Brown is gone and _______________ will fill the void. Is it Isaiah Wynn? Some player who’ll be drafted next month?

For most fans it doesn’t matter. They aren’t worried.

For most of the NFL, the free agency/ unofficial crazy trade period is either exciting or excruciating. MetLife Stadium houses teams at both ends of that spectrum. In New England, the waters are almost always calm. Even when the Patriots make significant moves - Stephon Gilmore or Michael Bennett - it feels like a good team adding a piece rather than something that registers on the Richter scale.

Other than the craziest fringes of the fan base, most people just assume the Patriots will figure it out.

So far, they always have.
