Patriots 2026 offseason preview: WR group ripe for more turnover

The New England Patriots made a concerted effort to improve their wide receiver group in 2025, and they did. Veteran additions Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins had a positive impact; rookie Kyle Williams had some flash plays; Kayshon Boutte took a step forward under a new coaching staff and in a new offensive system. And […]

Patriots free agent hopes to build off of 2025 season

K’Lavon Chaisson bet on himself and his new team last spring. Coming off the best season of his career, the former first-round draft pick joined the New England Patriots on a one-year, $3 million contract. The hopes for the partnership were clear from the get-go: help the Patriots get back on track in Year 1 […]

Patriots free agency 2026: K’Lavon Chaisson is not going to come cheap

Despite finishing the season strongly, the New England Patriots’ pass rush had its ups and downs throughout the 2025 campaign. It wasn’t due to K’Lavon Chaisson’s efforts, though: the first-year Patriot proved himself a disruptive player who finished the year setting multiple career marks and leading the team in several statistical categories. Needless to say, […]

Patriots reportedly interviewed Browns assistant before Zak Kuhr promotion

Promoting Zak Kuhr to defensive coordinator was the logical choice in the aftermath of Terrell Williams moving to a different role on staff, but the New England Patriots still had to adhere to the NFL’s hiring processes. This meant satisfying the Rooney Rule by interviewing at least two minority or female candidates for every open […]

NFL fines Seahawks’ Josh Jobe for Super Bowl scuffle with Stefon Diggs

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Josh Jobe was probably fortunate that he wasn’t ejected for his actions in the team’s dominant Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots, but he’s not so fortunate that he’ll escape any form of punishment. The NFL fined Jobe a combined $18,444 for two separate reasons on what’s otherwise the same […]

The Seattle Seahawks are for sale

It’s been barely a week since the Seattle Seahawks hoisted the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in franchise history, thumping the overpowered and overmatched New England Patriots 29-13 to lay claim to bragging rights as the best team in the league for the next year. And now the franchise is officially for sale, with […]

Ernie Adams named interim head coach at his alma mater, Phillips Andover

It took him 72 years, but Ernie Adams has finally landed his first ever head coaching job.

Adams was hired to replace previous head coach Trey Brown, under whom the Big Blue went […]

Patriots hire former intern to their coaching staff

The New England Patriots have made a first addition to their coaching staff this offseason, and it comes in the form of a familiar face. B.J. Edmonds, who spent time with the team last summer as a coaching intern, was hired in an undisclosed role. Edmonds joining the Patriots comes only a month after he […]

Defensive assistant reportedly leaving Patriots coaching staff

The New England Patriots’ coaching staff is not experiencing the sweeping changes of the last two years, but there is still turnover this offseason. Among the latest reported moves is the departure of defensive assistant Milton Patterson. Patterson will not be back with the Patriots in 2026, as first noted by NFL reporter Joseph Pasteris. […]

What promoting Zak Kuhr to defensive coordinator means for the Patriots

With Terrell Williams moving to a different role on their coaching staff in 2026, the New England Patriots were in need of a new defensive coordinator. It did not take long for them to find him: Zak Kuhr, who served as inside linebackers coach last season, was promoted to the DC role. In a follow-up […]

Patriots promote Zak Kuhr to full-time defensive coordinator

The New England Patriots have promoted Zak Kuhr to the team’s defensive coordinator job. They also hired Vinny DePalma to succeed Kuhr as inside linebackers coach. Kuhr took over defensive play-calling duties in Week 2 last season after then-defensive coordinator Terrell Williams stepped away while battling cancer. Under Kuhr, New England’s defense improved throughout the […]

Key dates for the Seahawks 2026 offseason

Little more than a week has passed since the Seattle Seahawks handily thumped the New England Patriots on the way to claiming the title as World Champions and hoisting the second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history. With the Super Bowl in the rear view mirror, that, of course, means that the offseason has arrived. Thus, […]

Patriots bring back cornerback from 2025 rookie class on futures pact

A member of the 2025 New England Patriots rookie class has circled back ahead of the new league year. The organization announced the re-signing of cornerback Brandon Crossley on Tuesday, bringing the list of futures contracts to 14. Crossley, 25, first arrived in Foxborough as an undrafted free agent last spring. The 5-foot-11, 186-pound corner […]

Eight recent New England Patriots have become street free agents a week into the NFL offseason.

2025 Saints player review: DT Davon Godchaux

The New Orleans Saints traded a 2026 seventh-round pick to the New England Patriots for veteran defensive tackle Davon Godchaux last offseason with hope that the nose tackle would bolster the team’s run defense. Ultimately, Godchaux’s first year in the black and gold was underwhelming, as the Saints’ run defense remains an a work in […]

Projecting Patriots contract extension with CB Christian Gonzalez

One of the top items on the New England Patriots’ offseason to-do list is entering contract negotiations with cornerback Christian Gonzalez. A first-round selection by the team in 2023, he is now eligible to sign an extension with the team that drafted him. Given his performance since arriving in New England, the 23-year-old is a […]

Patriots offseason resources compare favorably to rest of the NFL

Winning their division and advancing all the way to the Super Bowl, the New England Patriots exceeded expectations in their first year under head coach Mike Vrabel.

NFL franchise tag window opens: Will Patriots use it?

Starting on Tuesday, NFL teams can begin employing the franchise or transition tag to keep pending unrestricted free agents from the open market. The New England Patriots have multiple players in that category as well, but they are nonetheless unlikely to use any of the tags this year. While they do have the financial means, a look […]

Patriots 2026 offseason preview: RB facing questions beyond top duo

The New England Patriots circled through multiple running backs over the course of the 2025 season, but at the end of the day only two players made a sustained impact. Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson were the clear-cut 1-2 in the team’s backfield. They are not the only players worth taking a look at with […]
