Pats Pulpit: A New England Patriots Community
The New England Patriots relied heavily on their top three cornerbacks in 2025, and for good reason: Christian Gonzalez, Carlton Davis and Marcus Jones were one of the best trios in the NFL last season. As a consequence of their performance and relative durability, however, the depth options saw only limited opportunity. Tops among those […]
Two of the New England Patriots’ top edge rushers, rookie Gabe Jacas and veteran Harold Landry, are question marks with mandatory minicamp set to take place Tuesday through Thursday. In the two OTA practices open to the media on June 2 and May 27, neither was among the participants. This comes after the Patriots opted […]
Entering the 2026 offseason with one of the best cornerback trios in football under contract did not prevent the New England Patriots from adding more talent to the group. And so, in the fifth round of the NFL Draft, they selected a toolsy developmental option that is slated to compete for a backup spot this […]
TreVeyon Henderson found himself the subject of criticism earlier this offseason. The New England Patriots’ second-year running had seemingly expressed support for NBA player Jaden Ivey on social media after he was released by the Chicago Bulls following some apparent anti-LGBTQ+ remarks. The public outcry over Henderson’s post — he had quoted a verse from […]
Before even welcoming the full team to Gillette Stadium this spring, the New England Patriots already suffered their first loss of the season.

The New England Patriots needed to clear a spot on their 90-man offseason roster after completing their trade for wide receiver A.J. Brown, and they did so by moving a member of their tight end group to injured reserve. Julian Hill, who had recently suffered a knee injury in practice, was placed on IR on […]
“Opportunity” was a common word used as New England Patriots defensive tackle Cory Durden fielded questions from the media following the team’s OTAs practice on Tuesday. Durden, 27, has a chance to take on a larger role along the defensive front in 2026 after former Patriots nose tackle Khyiris Tonga left in free agency to […]
Will Campbell was not himself down the stretch last season. After suffering a tear in his MCL that cost him four regular-season games, Campbell returned for the Patriots’ regular-season finale and playoff run. The rookie struggled upon his return, as executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf later noted that three of Campbell’s four […]
The New England Patriots enjoyed some strong attendance since the start of their voluntary offseason workout program in late April, but Kayshon Boutte has been suspiciously absent so far. His decision to stay away comes in light of constant trade rumors surrounding the fourth-year wide receiver. He apparently welcomes those as well. In fact, as […]
Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has coached some of the best pass catchers in football over his career. He’ll now add A.J. Brown to that list. McDaniels met Brown on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the Patriots traded a pair of draft picks to acquire the All-Pro wide receiver. Just hours later, the two […]

The 2025 season was Ashton Grant’s first as a full-time quarterbacks coach in the National Football League. Grant oversaw the Patriots’ quarterback room as Drake Maye emerged as an MVP candidate, with Maye crediting Grant — who came from a similar offensive system in Cleveland to the one Maye ran as a rookie — for […]
Even including a challenging playoff stretch, the New England Patriots passing offense can safely been classified as one of the most efficient in the NFL during the 2025 season. And yet, it was still not operating at the peak of its powers: despite MVP runner-up Drake Maye running the show, shortcomings across the board eventually […]

As the New England Patriots transitioned from the second to the third phase of their voluntary offseason workout program, they did so without cornerback Christian Gonzalez in the building.

The New England Patriots were originally set to hold nine organized team activities over the course of a three-week period, leading up to their mandatory minicamp in mid-June. As head coach Mike Vrabel announced on Tuesday, however, the team has altered that schedule and shortened its offseason program. Instead of nine OTAs, the Patriots will […]
One day after making arguably their biggest move of the offseason, the New England Patriots took to the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium for their second open organized team activity. As mentioned before, those sessions need to be taken with a grain of salt given their learning-based nature and general lack of physicality. Nonetheless, they […]
Less than 24 hours after being traded to the Patriots, A.J. Brown departed the New Balance Athletics Center and made his way up the conditioning hill to the team’s practice field on Tuesday. Ahead of his first practice with the team he grew up cheering for, Brown made sure to soak in the moment. “Just […]

Like they did last year, the New England Patriots will once again participate in two sets of joint practices during their training camp this summer.

Typically, physicals are only a formality to officially conclude NFL trades. As this offseason has shown, however, they can derail even the biggest of blockbuster trades. However, the New England Patriots are not facing a Maxx Crosby-to-the-Ravens scenario regarding their recent trade pickup, A.J. Brown. The wide receiver passed his physical on Tuesday morning and […]
