New England Patriots 2026 roster and depth chart

Coming off a berth in Super Bowl LX, the New England Patriots are in the process of retooling their roster. They made some moves in free agency to improve the foundation, and added some youth in the NFL Draft and rookie free agency. In order not to get lost amid all the movement, here is […]

Patriots waive rookie wideout with injury designation on eve of training camp

A 91-man roster spot changed hands at Gillette Stadium on the eve of training camp. The New England Patriots waived wide receiver Jimmy Kibble with an injury designation on Friday, according to the NFL transaction wire.

Former Patriots offensive lineman Jordan Devey dead at 38

Jordan Devey, a member of the New England Patriots’ 2014 Super Bowl team, has passed away. He was 38 years old. Devey’s wife, Linsey, shared the news on social media. Born in American Fork, Utah, Devey did not play football in high school but instead was an avid tuba player as well as a member […]

Patriots players react to DeAndre Hopkins working with coaching staff

As Robert Spillane finished his conditioning test on Friday, he spotted a familiar, but unexpected face, near the back of the practice field. That was former Tennessee Titan teammate DeAndre Hopkins, who is working with the Patriots coaching staff the next few days to begin training camp as he searches for a post-playing career. “I […]

Christian Gonzalez to participate in Patriots training camp despite contract uncertainty

New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez was present at the team’s facility on Friday amid ongoing contract extension negotiations.

Veterans reported to Foxboro on Friday after rookies arrived on Tuesday, marking the final domino to […]

Patriots place team captain on injury list ahead of training camp

The New England Patriots have placed safety/special teamer Brenden Schooler on the active/non-football injury list ahead of training camp, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.

DeAndre Hopkins joins Patriots coaching staff ahead of training camp

DeAndre Hopkins, one of the best wide receivers of his era, will be part of the New England Patriots’ training camp this summer. However, he will not be on the field catching passes.

Mike Vrabel gives update on Gabe Jacas contract situation with Patriots

Entering Friday, only three out of the 257 players picked in this year’s NFL Draft have not signed their rookie deals yet. Besides quarterbacks Ty Simpson and Drew Allar, New England Patriots second-round pick Gabe Jacas is the only non-quarterback to remain out of contract. As a consequence, Jacas did not report to the Patriots’ […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for TE Eli Raridon

For years, the New England Patriots have paid minimal attention to the tight end position in the NFL Draft. After selecting Rob Gronkowski in 2010, they invested only two more picks within the first two days of the event. Both of those — Devin Asiasi and Dalton Keene — fizzled out without having made much […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for TE C.J. Dippre

The tight end position is one of the biggest question marks on the New England Patriots’ roster. While Hunter Henry remains a reliable starter and team captain, and the team just invested a third-round draft choice in Eli Raridon, the depth behind the two suffered a major loss when free agency signing Julian Hill went […]

Patriots O-line deep dive: Left tackle

When New England Patriots training camp opens at the end of the week, there’s going to be one position group that a lot of eyes are going to be on, and rightfully so. There’s probably not a bigger question mark on the team right now than the offensive line. The possible outcomes for this group […]

Patriots mailbag: Will Christian Gonzalez even get a new contract?

The New England Patriots are back at Gillette Stadium and set to hit the practice field for the first day of training camp on Saturday. So, let’s get into this week’s #PostPulpit Mailbag. Do you think there is any chance the Pats don’t give Gonzo a new contract? If so, what do you think happens? […]

Final group of Patriots reporting to 2026 training camp on Friday

A first wave of New England Patriots players already reported to this year’s training camp earlier in the week. Now, the rest of the team’s active roster is set to arrive at Gillette Stadium. The team’s veterans — i.e. everybody but quarterbacks, rookies and rehabbing vets — are scheduled to check into the Foxborough facility […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for OL Ben Brown

Jerod Mayo’s one-year stint as New England Patriots head coach was mostly forgettable, but there are a few exceptions. One, of course, is selecting Drake Maye third overall in the draft. And while that decision will shape the franchise for years to come, it is not the only one still impacting the roster to this […]

Patriots reportedly sign ex-Boston College tight end following workout

A Chestnut Hill product has touched down in Foxborough ahead of training camp. The New England Patriots signed former Boston College tight end Jeremiah Franklin following a workout on Thursday, according to a report from CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz. Unselected in the 2026 NFL draft, Franklin previously attended the Patriots’ local pro day and was […]

Patriots 2026 scouting report for OT Morgan Moses

When the New England Patriots invested the 28th overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft in offensive tackle Caleb Lomu, they very much made their intentions known. Lomu and the team’s 2025 first-round selection, Will Campbell, would eventually become the bookends along the offensive line. But while the plan is in motion, it won’t be […]

Patriots training camp preview 2026: Edge stability is a must

The New England Patriots reshaped their defensive edge during Mike Vrabel’s first year as head coach in 2025, signing longtime Vrabel pupil in Tennessee Harold Landry and taking a flier on 2020 first-round selection K’Lavon Chaisson. New England’s sack numbers improved from 2024, with Landry and Chaisson proving to be more effective, but only to […]

Patriots O-line deep dive: Left guard

When New England Patriots training camp opens at the end of the week, there’s going to be one position group that a lot of eyes are going to be on, and rightfully so. There’s probably not a bigger question mark on the team right now than the offensive line. The possible outcomes for this group […]

Patriots training camp preview 2026: Special teams continuity a sign of confidence

This offseason, the New England Patriots decided not to change their special teams starters, entrusting the 2025 lineup that helped the franchise to a Super Bowl appearance in year one under head coach Mike Vrabel’s tenure. New England chose continuity on the third unit for 2026, despite some questions regarding continued inconsistencies. In the next […]

What signing Mitch Van Vooren and Riley Wilson means for the Patriots

With training camp right around the corner, the New England Patriots are keeping busy. On Wednesday, the team of head coach Mike Vrabel had six players in town for tryouts, ended up signing two of those, and released another to put a bow on an eventful day. While signing tight end Mitch Van Vooren and […]
