As we’re all well aware, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had a disastrous outing in the AFC divisional round against the New England Patriots.

Playing wide receiver in the NFL is a different challenge than it was in college — something the New England Patriots know well as they evaluate their options this offseason.

The New England Patriots entered their 2025 training camp with Kyle Dugger and Jabrill Peppers seemingly the undisputed top two options at safety. They exited with Dugger relegated to backup duty and Peppers off the team entirely (a fate Dugger also would later meet). In their place, Jaylinn Hawkins and Craig Woodson had emerged as […]
Before going on their record-breaking free agency spending spree last spring, the New England Patriots brought another player aboard who had been released from his previous team. Harold Landry, a longtime member of the Tennessee Titans, was signed to a three-year, $43.5 million contract before free agency frenzy began. Landry did enjoy some success early […]

A recent report indicated the Patriots were looking to upgrade their offensive line this offseason by targeting Green Bay Packers pending free agent left tackle Rasheed Walker.

He has led the position group in receiving, yards, and scoring, and has been a great veteran presence in the locker room for the last two seasons. Ertz suffered an ugly looking ACL tear when he had his legs taken out […]
Mike Vrabel and company rebuilt all parts of the Patriots roster upon arriving in New England last offseason, and the linebacker group was also not immune to change. Among the most consequential additions was Jack Gibbens, who formerly played under Vrabel in Tennessee and who ended up serving as the third option as well as […]
A quick turnaround from Super Bowl LX to the NFL offseason has the New England Patriot arriving in Indianapolis this week for the Scouting Combine.

With only one established option under contract for 2026, tight end is a serious if somewhat under-recognized need for the New England Patriots this offseason. The team making a splash at the position in free agency therefore would not come as a surprise, but one of the top options available won’t make it to the […]
The New England Patriots decided to shake up their running back room on Monday. Antonio Gibson, who originally joined the team on a three-year, $11.25 million free agency deal in 2024, was released after two seasons and 22 total games with the organization. The move itself did not come as too big a surprise. Not […]
