The Rookie Camp has ended, and the team is in the middle of Organized Team Activities (OTAs) with remaining OTA running through June 7th.  Mandatory team Mini Camp is June 11th-13th.   After Mini Camp is the dead period before Training Camp starts.  I am estimating the Training Camp will start on Wednesday July 23rd.   

I spoke with Karen Guregian about Hollins, and she said he’d be a good target for Drake Maye, who will be reliable and catch the ball

The Patriots opened up their practice to the media on Wednesday.  The media were under strict direction not to disclose any depth chart or starting lineups.

I have seen several reports from the open OTA attended by the horde of local media.  If Drake Maye sneezes, the local media will report which way his head was turned.

Heading into the 2025 New England Patriots season, one key question still remains. Can this team be a group that can get back to being competitive again on offense?  Can they be better than the team that finished last season near the bottom of the league in scoring?

During our podcast this week with Chris Price of the Boston Globe, Chris expressed confidence that Chism will stay with the team. 

So far through one week of Patriots OTAs, there has already been one undrafted free agent who has made it clear he’ll be making noise heading into training camp.

While the rookies got some work in ahead of this week’s sessions, what went down this week on the practice field behind Gillette Stadium will certainly lay the foundation of this New England Patriots team heading into 2025.

Can New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye make the jump in his 2nd year to be a quality NFL QB?  Does Maye regress and doesn’t improve his high turnover rate?  A lot is being put on Maye’s plate. 

One of the more interesting storylines this offseason has been what has been going on in San Francisco prior to the report of the 49ers finally getting an extension done with Brock Purdy.

“Mike Vrabel is a guy that I can talk to,” Barmore told the media. “Every time I talk to him, he’s there for me. A guy that I really respect”

The Patriots have a very favorable schedule which is the 3rd best schedule based upon last year’s winning percentage Strength of Schedule (SOS).  The last two 4-13 seasons, the Patriots have had the worst SOS going into the seasons, which attributed to their overall record.

One key loss the New England Patriots endured during last season was the loss of defensive tackle, Christian Barmore, who was diagnosed with blood clots last summer ahead of the season.

The league unveiled the full 2025 NFL Schedule Wednesday night, which will see a slate of games that, for the most part, favors Mike Vrabel’s football team.

Mike Vrabel didn’t allude to any changes within New England’s front office following what was largely considered to be a solid crop from their 2025 Patriots Draft picks, but it appears they’re about to lose one significant name.

I’ll give you 6 players, three on Offense and three on Defense that are on the Hot  Seat heading into Training Camp.  There is still plenty of time (approx. 71 days to the start of Training Camp) to make changes to the roster.

“Vrabel’s definitely a player’s coach,” Jared Wilson said. “And he played in the league for a really long time so he knows.”

Here’s what head coach Mike Vrabel had to say during his pre-mini camp press conference on Friday

Everyone remembers being on the edge of their seat during New England’s 28-3 historic Super Bowl comeback win by the Patriots over the Falcons to cap off the 2016 season, but there’s a new wrinkle that makes it even more amazing.

The NFL is set to announce the 2025 Regular Season Schedule one week from today, with the event set for May 14th at 8:00pm ET.

I just completed reading the book “The Packer Way” by Ron Wolf.  As you may know, Wolf, the former General Manager (GM) of the Green Bay Packers and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee is the father of Patriots Executive Vice President of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf.

The full list of 2025 Patriots Draft Picks Uniform Numbers for this year’s New England Patriots draft class, listing out the player numbers for all 11 players in this year’s draft.

Not a lot of New England Patriots players have had the career Julian Edelman has had, and he’s about to be rewarded for it.

When it comes to the wide receiver position, it’s probably safe to say that Kyle Williams’ development this offseason is going to play a key role in New England’s success in 2025.

Hall of Fame left tackle Joe Thomas said, “Will Campbell will be a great Patriot.” He thinks the arm length thing is ridiculous.
