Patriots mailbag: How many roster spots are up for grabs?

The New England Patriots have ended their offseason program and now break until training camp later this month. While players are out of the facility, plenty remains to break down. So, let’s get into this week’s #PostPulpit Mailbag. Next week players will be back and we ll know better if Gonzalez is satisfied and Jacas […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for OL Caedan Wallace

The New England Patriots’ first draft of the post-Bill Belichick era started off with a bang, but it quickly went sideways from there. After Drake Maye was selected third overall by Eliot Wolf and then-head coach Jerod Mayo, the team hit a rough patch: none of the other seven selections have had much of an […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for OL JonDarius Morgan

Between signing Alijah Vera-Tucker and moving Jared Wilson to center, the New England Patriots’ interior offensive line saw some change this offseason. The starter level was not the only one impacted by the team’s personnel decisions, though: the Patriots also added a pair of undrafted interior lineman. One of them was Jacob Rizy, who we […]

Patriots training camp preview 2026: A.J. Brown leads revitalized WR room

The New England Patriots entered this offseason knowing the team needed to improve at wide receiver. Stefon Diggs was a pleasant surprise, ending the 2025 season as the team’s first 1,000-yard receiver since Julian Edelman in 2019. However, it was evident in the postseason that New England still needed more at the position if it […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for OT Dametrious Crownover

For a second straight year, the New England Patriots decided to double-dip at offensive tackle in the NFL Draft. After going with Will Campbell and Marcus Bryant in 2025, they selected Caleb Lomu and Dametrious Crownover in 2026. Campbell and Lomu are obviously roster locks this year given that they both were picked in the […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for OL Andrew Rupcich

The New England Patriots have spent the first year-plus under head coach Mike Vrabel getting the old band back together: multiple of his former contributors with the Tennessee Titans have rejoined their former head coach in Foxborough. Among the players, the likes of A.J. Brown, Harold Landry or Kevin Byard naturally stand out. There are […]

MVP runner-up Drake Maye voted 8th-best QB in the NFL

Drake Maye arrived in the upper echelon of quarterbacks in 2025. A Pro Bowler and second-team All-Pro selection, the sophomore QB also finished second in MVP voting and led the New England Patriots to a playoff berth and Super Bowl appearances. Unsurprisingly, Maye is now one of the hottest names in the game. And yet, […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for OT Will Campbell

Coming off a second straight 4-13 season, the New England Patriots under new head coach Mike Vrabel entered the 2025 NFL Draft with the fourth overall selection in hand. There were multiple avenues they could have explored, but ultimately the biggest issue on the roster needed to be addressed: the lack of a quality starting […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for OL Jacob Rizy

The New England Patriots double-dipped at offensive tackle during the 2026 NFL Draft, but they opted not to address the interior of their line until rookie free agency. When they did, they signed an intriguing prospect who combines size, athleticism and the ability to play wherever he is need up front. Whether or not Jacob […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for OL Mehki Butler

Despite already making some major investments along their offensive line in 2025, the New England Patriots again used serious capital to upgrade the group this offseason. The process left a particular impact on the interior, which will feature new starters at left guard (Alijah Vera-Tucker) and center (Jared Wilson) alongside a returning right guard (Mike […]

Patriots training camp preview 2026: Quarterback

The New England Patriots’ pursuit of a franchise quarterback has seemingly come to a close with Drake Maye entering his third season at the helm of the offense. After leading a previously 4-13 team to the Super Bowl and missing out on an MVP trophy by one vote, the 23-year-old, alongside offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for DT Travis Shaw

The New England Patriots have 91 players on their current roster, and 24 of them are listed at 300 pounds or more. Out of those 24, seven are playing along the defensive line. And of those seven, one stands out as the heaviest defender on the team: undrafted rookie Travis Shaw. His size is his […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for OL Sebastian Gutierrez

Even though their roster as a whole is relatively young, the New England Patriots have some immense experience within their ranks. Players such as Mack Hollins, Hunter Henry, Morgan Moses, Harold Landry or Kevin Byard have played dozens of games over their multi-year careers in the NFL and garnered experience with multiple teams. In that […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for LB Khalil Jacobs

The New England Patriots showed extensive interest in more than 140 draft prospects this offseason, and several of them touched base with the team on more than one occasion. Tops among them, however, was Khalil Jacobs: after speaking with the Patriots at his pro day and virtually, he also visited Gillette Stadium shortly before the […]

Patriots training camp preview 2026: Cornerback

The New England Patriots’ cornerback room is coming off a prolific 2025 season, where the team’s starting trio at the position played a significant role in leading the team to the Super Bowl, quickly turning around the secondary. That’s the reason why we’re ranking them as New England’s best position group heading into 2026. In […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for ED Xavier Holmes

The New England Patriots got solid production out of their rebuilt edge group in 2025, but they still entered this year’s offseason with the plan of upgrading. They hoped to achieve that goal by adding two high-profile players in veteran free agent Dre’Mont Jones and second-round draft choice Gabe Jacas. They were not the only […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for C Jared Wilson

When Mike Vrabel took over the New England Patriots in January 2025, he inherited a team that has had issues along the offensive line for multiple years. And so, in his first draft as head coach, the team went out to fix the issue: with its first and third selections, it added to the O-line. […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for LB Otis Reese

Despite the potential for improvement and multiple departures during the offseason, the New England Patriots did not invest any major resources in their linebacker group this offseason. This will, in turn, make for an intriguing competition come training camp and give relatively unheralded players a shot at a roster spot. One of those players is […]

Sunday Patriots Notes: Breakout candidates aplenty on young roster

The New England Patriots are scattered all over the country at the moment, but the summer break is slowly but surely nearing its end: in 10 days, the first group of players will report to training camp. For the time being, however, things are still relatively quiet. As a consequence, our weekly wrap-up of stories […]
