Pats Pulpit: A New England Patriots Community
The New England Patriots have invited UMass offensive tackle Ryan Mosesso to the team’s local pro day on April 7, the redshirt senior told media members following his performance at Massachusetts’ NFL Pro Day on Wednesday. Mosesso, a die-hard Patriots fan, tested in front of two New England scouts at the UMass Pro Day. He […]
While it’s not April yet, we’re less than a month away from the NFL Draft, and things have started happening. We’ve seen the New England Patriots show interest in a bunch of different players, and some extra interest, perhaps, in the first player of this mock. Let’s get into it. A reminder that I’ve included […]
The New England Patriots signed one of the top safeties available in this year’s free agency, bringing first-team All-Pro Kevin Byard aboard on a one-year contract. While the pact’s base value is $7 million, Byard actually will count $9 million against the Patriots’ cap in 2026. The reason for that is quite simple. Besides the […]
The New England Patriots offensive line experienced some drastic change the last few years, but through it all one player served as a beacon of stability. Mike Onwenu remains one of the top guards in the NFL, and locked into his position on the right side of the Patriots O-line. However, with him entering the […]
The free agency transactions have largely settled down for the New England Patriots and the rest of the league this past week. The main focus instead has shifted back to the NFL Draft, which is officially less than one month away. The focus here on Pats Pulpit has been cleaning up free agent contracts and […]
Even though Will Campbell and Morgan Moses are projected to keep their starting jobs in 2026, the New England Patriots are in the market for additional help at the offensive tackle position. Not only is the depth behind the top two unsettled, Moses also turned 35 earlier this month. Unsurprisingly, the team has been linked […]
Looking over the Patriots 2026 free agent class, one thing seems clear: the team is banking on their 2025 draft class breaking out for success this season. Mike Vrabel and company chose not to bring back any of the free agents whose contracts expired this offseason. That sets the stage for a youth movement in […]
With Austin Hooper’s departure very much sealed before the start of free agency, the New England Patriots dove into the open market with a clear need at tight end position. They emerged with a former Dolphin caught via a three-year, $15 million contract: Julian Hill was brought in to serve as the Patriots’ TE2 behind […]
The NFL Draft is less than one month away as the New England Patriots continue to hit the pro day circuit and host prospects at Gillette Stadium on so-called 30 visits — all while continuing to make minor moves to the current roster. So with plenty of moves to go, let’s get into this week’s […]
As both executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf and head coach Mike Vrabel said at the NFL Combine, the edge position is one of the biggest needs for the New England Patriots. Even after signing Dre’Mont Jones to a three-year deal on the first day of free agency, that remains true. Jones is […]
It took until one of the follow-up waves of free agency, but the New England Patriots did eventually address their offensive tackle depth. Earlier this week, the team signed five-year veteran James Hudson to a one-year, $1.4 million contract. Let’s grade the signing based on everything we know. Instant grades: Patriots sign OT James Hudson […]
When looking at a list of New England Patriots contracts you can see that three players appear to have signed almost identical deals. Linebacker K.J. Britt, cornerback Kindle Vildor and offensive tackle James Hudson all joined the team this offseason on one-year pacts with the same base salaries and, despite differences in signing bonuses, workouts […]
When you picture New England Patriots running backs of the 21st century, you don’t need to think long and hard before reaching a specific archetype: the undersized, jiggly receiving back who has been a key part of the team’s dynasty era. James White, Shane Vereen, Danny Woodhead — they all fit this mold. In a […]
The New England Patriots are in the market for edge help in this year’s NFL Draft, and they are making sure to leave no stone unturned leading up to next month’s event. They have had confirmed pre-draft contact with 15 prospects at the position, including three who took trips to Foxborough to meet with the […]
Even though they did not go on another record-breaking spending spree like in 2025, the New England Patriots were still quite busy refurbishing their roster in this year’s NFL free agency. In all, a look at our Patriots Free Agency Tracker shows that they added 12 outside players since late February, re-signed two of their […]
As both Executive Vice President of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf and head coach Mike Vrabel said at the NFL Combine, the edge position is one of the biggest needs for the New England Patriots. Even after signing Dre’Mont Jones to a three-year deal on the first day of free agency, that remains true. Jones is […]
The New England Patriots have made their big moves in free agency, but they still continue adding to their roster. Among their latest signing was that of cornerback Kindle Vildor, who was brought in on a one-year, $1.4 million contract last week. Let’s grade the signing based on everything we know. Instant grades: Patriots sign […]
Despite fielding one of the best starting trios in football, the New England Patriots had a low-key need at the cornerback position in free agency. With Alex Austin not tendered as a restricted free agent and subsequently leaving for Miami, the depth behind Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis and Marcus Jones suddenly looked even shallower than […]
As both executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf and head coach Mike Vrabel said at the NFL Combine, the edge position is one of the biggest needs for the New England Patriots. Even after signing Dre’Mont Jones to a three-year deal on the first day of free agency, that remains true. Jones is […]
As the 2026 NFL league year has begun, the Patriots are now open to negotiate a contract extension with star cornerback Christian Gonzalez. While preliminary talks have reportedly begun, no deal has yet been reached between the two sides. New England’s brass has made it clear, however, that Gonzalez is part of the team’s future […]
The New England Patriots invested the fourth overall selection in last year’s draft in an offensive tackle, but they very much remain in the market for longer-term help at the position. While we are optimistic about Will Campbell’s outlook, his right-side counterpart Morgan Moses is getting up there in age and will eventually need to […]
Just minutes into the NFL’s legal tampering period, the New England Patriots signed their first external free agent. Outside linebacker Dre’Mont Jones, who split the 2025 season between Tennessee and Baltimore, was brought aboard on a three-year contract worth a base value of $36.5 million. The maximum value of the contract, however, is slightly higher […]
I’m back with my second mock draft of the cycle. In the first one, I focused on finding a receiver for Drake Maye early – someone the Patriots have now hosted on a visit. In this one, we’re helping Drake Maye by continuing to build on a defense that was elite in the playoffs while […]
The New England Patriots’ list of pre-draft visits keeps growing, and its latest addition is one of the top defensive tackle prospects in this year’s class. Kayden McDonald, who spent his three-year college career at Ohio State, is the 10th confirmed player to visit with the organization. McDonald projects as a fringe first-round selection. Standing […]
The New England Patriots made several changes to their roster since the start of free agency earlier this month, and as a consequence also had to hand out a bunch of new jersey numbers. The first batch of those has already been unveiled, and now the team has added to the list. A total of […]
