3 performances of note from the Patriots’ second minicamp practice

The New England Patriots dialed back the tempo on Day 2 of their mandatory minicamp.

Patriots consider ex-tryout player for special teams ‘quarterback’ role

Compared to other moves the New England Patriots made this offseason, trading Marte Mapu to the Houston Texans as part of a late-round draft pick exchange in 2027 was little more than a footnote.
