The NFLPA released a report card for 2024 on Wednesday and there was one notable grade that stood out when it came to how the players apparently viewed Bill Belichick in his final season.

Tuesday night reportedly saw the Patriots meet with the first of several quarterback prospects, with NFL Analyst Ryan Fowler reporting that New England was among several teams who were set to meet with LSU quarterback Jalen Daniels last night.

One other interesting takeaway from Tuesday’s press conference with Eliot Wolf is the fact that when it comes to the grading system the team is using, Wolf admitted that there was one key change that made things a little different moving forward for the Patriots.

The first press conference for Patriots Director of Scouting Eliot Wolf was held on Tuesday down in Indianapolis as Wolf addressed a variety of topics, with the plans at quarterback obviously being a key talking point.

Elliott, who ended up being a key addition for New England’s offense in 2023, especially after they lost Rhamondre Stevenson late in the year, apparently had an interest in reuniting with his former team ahead of their Wild Card meeting against Green Bay last month.

ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported over the weekend that the contract discussions with Kendrick Bourne haven’t turned into anything productive just yet, with Reiss saying there haven’t been any “substantial extension talks” to this point.

Free agent tackle Mike Onwenu made an interesting mover over the weekend, with ProFootballTalk.com’s Mike Florio reporting that Onwenu has parted ways with his agents.

For a team that had made some key mistakes drafting skill players, 2020 was probably the most glaring, as it changed everything for the New England Patriots.

The New England Patriots are obviously embarking on a new era following the departure this offseason of Bill Belichick, and the subsequent hiring of Jerod Mayo. 

 The Patriots are obviously embarking on a new era following the departure this offseason of Bill Belichick, and the subsequent hiring of Jerod Mayo.  That means the old way of doing things is certainly out the window, and it’s going to be interesting to see what that means from a personnel standpoint.

“Matthew Slater deserves every accolade someone could receive. He added that Slater was the “best core special teams player in NFL history.”

With the Patriots turning the page in what is now a post-Bill Belichick era, one emphasis appears to be clear. It looks like there will be more transparency between Jerod Mayo and his coaching staff and the media, which obviously translates into much less mystery within the fan base.

There’s no question that things will look different on the field for the New England Patriots in 2024, but there will be one notable absence when the club takes the field next season.

Maye has a prototypical build for a QB at 6’4, 229, possesses a cannon for an arm, and has above-average athleticism, 9 rushing TDs in 2023.

Before breaking into the NFL, Montgomery worked in several college programs, mostly bouncing around Iowa.

The Wolf Pack – that’s what this new group in the New England Patriots’ front office will be known as.

Unless you’d been in that building, you have no idea. And you’ve never been in the building. So you guys are killing him,” Mike Lombardi said

As it currently stands, Elliot Wolf has been the person most involved as the club began building its coaching staff.  Wolf, who is the lone person in the building with any real contacts outside New England, has seemingly led the way as the club has rounded out its offensive staff.

Tuesday saw quite the showdown between 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Michael Felger and former Belichick staffer and NFL GM Michael Lombardi, with the two battling it out over the narrative surrounding Belichick, who the team parted ways with this past offseason.

Following the departure of Bill Belichick, Robert Kraft emphasized the need to make sure they had the right people supporting new head coach Jerod Mayo moving forward, and that trend continued on Tuesday.

During last offseason, the New England Patriots saw Jakobi Meyers depart to the Las Vegas Raiders after the club wasn’t able reach an agreement to keep him in the fold.
However, it sounds like the Patriots drew a line in the sand, with Meyers opting to head off to the desert.

Bill O’Brien quietly departed the New England area this offseason to accept the job as offensive coordinator with Ohio State, but it sounds like he may not end up ever calling a single play for the Buckeyes.

The following players have either left the Senior Bowl or have opted out of the game.
