I'd call the reps for Campbell, Bosa, Wagner, Diggs & Ife from Wuhstah to schedule visits...

It's one thing to want to become "younger, faster, cheaper" but if the holes aren't filled by the end of the month, then you might have to fork-over a couple of bucks for older, slower, more expensive but also more experienced and possibly with more gas in the tank...

LT: Campbell

Those are your 11 starters on offense and 11 on defense as of 4/30/26. What "Starters" do the Pats need?
Do they need depth? Sure. Every team has them at this time of year:

Depth questions:
#3QB
#3RB / #4RB / PS1/PS2
PS FB
#3/PS#1/PS#1 TE
#5 WR/PS#1/PS#2/PS#3
OT#3/OT#4/OT#5/PS#1/PS#2
OG#3/OG#4/PS#1/PS#2
OC#3/PS#1

DT#5/DT#6/PS1/PS2
Edge #3/Edge #4/Edge #5/PS1
LB#3/LB#4/LB5/PS1/PS2
CB#4/CB#5/CB#6/PS1/PS2
Saf #3/ Saf #4 / PS1/PS2

Here's the thing. The Pats have numerous returning players who likely slot into many of those roles. They'll be challenged by Rookies and the new vets. There are 20 rookies of the 87 players currently signed.

Camp will be exciting. Not that you care because all you're going to do is whine and ignore the fact that Wolf isn't the guy with the final decision making powers. That's Vrabel with Cowden and Streichen as his senior advisors.
 
How Arvelle Reese (243 lbs) out-leveraged, stood up & threw an OT to the ground with one arm.
Against a future insurance salesman from Ohio University.
Fortunately, the bar is pretty low to be better than Abdul Carter, their top-5 pick from last year.
