The Patriots are fortunate to have a cornerback duo of Carlton Davis and Christian Gonzalez available. If the team can remedy its shortcomings in the pass-rush, things will be looking up indeed for the under-the-radar but potentially dominating defense.
Bills Bills GM Brandon Beane was willing to take a chance on journeyman S C.J. Gardner-Johnson after researching his past and laying down rules for his first season with the team. “We talked about just making sure, ‘You’ve got to be a good teammate,’” Beane said, via The Athletic. “We don’t want any cheap shots […]

New England did not sign A.J. Brown as a simple statistical upgrade over Stefon Diggs.That would be too formulaic.The Patriots traded for Brown because they needed a different kind of receiver for Drake Maye.Diggs could still separate, find space against zone and give Maye a reliable target. Brown brings more size, power and downfield punishment.But […]

The Patriots have revamped their roster this offseason, but one Broncos trade candidate could be the final piece of their secondary.
Mike Vrabel has a lot to put behind him during the Patriots' 2026 season, and surely, whether he can do so will remain a big story.
Perhaps the biggest free agency mistake the Patriots made this offseason is now looking even better for the Chiefs.
We are in the midst of the NFL offseason, with little going on around the league as a whole and the New England Patriots specifically at the moment.

Although many in the NFL want to overlook the Patriots, respected voices like Richard Sherman are giving them the hype they deserve ahead of the 2026 season.

After a season-ending injury to tight end Julian Hill during a practice earlier this offseason, the New England Patriots became suddenly thin at the position without the new free-agent signing’s presence as a blocker. So much so that head coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged that’s a spot the team may need to bolster. “I think just […]
Always a fun exercise to see where the Patriots' roster sits after the offseason practices and minicamp, but let's face it: we don't have a ton to go on without Christian Gonzalez and others fully available, and no pads to judge the trenches on. So this is really just a stab in the dark.
The New England Patriots spent aggressively to change the shape of their defense in 2025.In 2026 for defensive line stalwarts Christian Barmore and Milton Williams, they represent roughly a $55 million in cap/cash investment.They give New England something every defense wants and few can actually build: two interior linemen who can make the pocket uncomfortable […]
