Hunter is a potential generational talent at WR or CB. That’s how talented he is. This is a transformational type of pick for the Patriots.

Coming off a second 4-13 season, the New England Patriots certainly needed a little help to try and take a step forward heading into 2025, both from a culture and talent standpoint.

One thing that’s interesting coming off of last year’s 4-13 New England Patriots season is that rookie quarterback Drake Maye didn’t seem to get much exposure outside of this region. And ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith doesn’t seem to think much of him.

Following what appeared to be a promising start for New England Patriots wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk, the former Washington receiver ended up with a disappointing rookie season.

“That’s somebody …creating a standard of what it is to play with speed and violence and physicality and effort and relentlessness.” 

Diggs spoke to reporters for the first time and said that his knowledge of New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel both as a coach and a player made this a destination he was interested in coming to, and it’s part of the reason he’s here.

It sounds like Penn State pass rush star Abdul Carter feels confident enough in where he’ll be selected next month that he’s not planning on wasting much of his time in the coming weeks.

There’s no question things will look much different this fall when it comes to the New England Patriots, and that became even more evident after what transpired on Friday.

In his first year as New England Patriots head coach, Mike Vrabel doesn’t exactly have a high bar to clear when it comes to having success heading into 2025.

Prior to Tuesday night’s news of Stefon Diggs signing with the Patriots, the team had been facing a fair amount of criticism for their inability to close the deal with other free agents.

The New England Patriots made a bold move by signing Stefon Diggs, giving quarterback Drake Maye a true No. 1 receiver. Here’s how the addition of Diggs reshapes the offense, boosts Maye’s development, and positions the Patriots to contend in 2025.

Diggs was signed to a three-year $69M contract to catch passes from Drake Maye.  Before his injury last season, he was on pace a for a 100 catch, 1,000-yard season. 

Mike Vrabel was probably hoping to make a splash in his first season here in New England, and the Patriots pulled off a deal on Tuesday night that certainly created one.

I really like the defensive line, but it is a BIG if Christian Barmore’s health issues (blood clots) are behind him.

They say sometimes the best deals are the ones you don’t make, and that may be what ultimately plays out with Stefon Diggs after his visit to New England this week.

The 2019 1st Round selection by Minnesota was released on Monday and signed by the Patriots on Tuesday on a 2-year $12M contract with $3.8M guaranteed. 

Just days after being hired, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel made it clear what he was hoping to achieve in his first season. He wants a tough, physical football team, and one that is especially good up front when it comes to running the football. On Tuesday, the signing of free agent center […]

ESPN reporter Mike Reiss indicated over the weekend that the Patriots could be in play for Vikings center Garrett Bradbury if he couldn’t reach an agreement to stay in Minnesota.

On Tuesday, after Bradbury was released one day earlier, he’s now a New England Patriot.

While David Andrews’ release last week ended up coming as a disappointment to many, it sounds like the team’s decision ultimately came down to health ahead of everything else.

Free Agency cannot fill all the holes this team has.  Eliot Wolf, Ryan Cowden and Mike Vrabel have done a good job upgrading the Defense with Vrabel kind of guys and leaders.  However, they have swung and missed on Offense. 

As of this writing the Patriots have not signed a Left Tackle in Free Agency.  They did beef up the Defense with DT Milton Williams, CB Carlton Davis, LB Robert Spillane and DT Khyiris Tonga.  On Offense they have signed a RT in Morgan Moses, QB Josh Dobbs and WR Mack Hollins.

There will definitely be some changes when the Patriots take the field in 2025, and it appears one of the staples on their offensive line won’t be a part of it.

I said in my Free Agency preview, get ready to be disappointed, but despite the cream of the crop being removed before the start, the Patriots did pretty well on Day One.

After Christian Barmore was sidelined with blood clots last season, it was obvious that the Patriots were in dire need of some help inside at the tackle position. On Monday, they solved that problem in a significant way by signing Milton Williams.

The Patriots might have gotten off to a slow start last March, but they’ve already made several additions early on this time around as the legal tampering window opened up around the league.
