Pats Pulpit: A New England Patriots Community
The New England Patriots’ tight end position was a mixed bag in 2025. Hunter Henry was one of the team’s most reliable players but he was relatively quiet in the playoffs; Austin Hooper was a limited factor in the passing game and mostly employed as a blocker; C.J. Dippre did receive some interest from other […]

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.

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 […]
