said Mayo.\u00a0 &#8220;And I\u2019m not sure what you guys thought, but we had a conversation man-to-man, which I thought was a good conversation. It wasn\u2019t heated, it wasn\u2019t anything like that. It was more just to figure out, \u201cLike, what are we trying to achieve here?\u201d Matthew, he\u2019s made many contributions to our team. I love him both as a player and as a man, but I have nothing but good things to say about him. Unfortunately, it just didn\u2019t work out. What I will say, I think it\u2019s a win-win. He wanted a new contract and things like that, and I think it was a win-win for all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-7\">Wolf added that the team simply had to make a tough decision, focusing instead on the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-6\">&#8220;All these decisions are difficult,&#8221; said Wolf.\u00a0 &#8220;We have to weigh now, the future, what\u2019s best for the team, what\u2019s best for the player. It was something that we just felt organizationally, and for Matthew, it was probably the best for both parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-15\">Whether or not the deal helped the team in the long term will certainly be something they&#8217;re judged on.\u00a0 The trade ultimately landed New England the 77th overall pick (Round 3) in this year&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2025-new-england-patriots-draft-picks-full-list\/\"><strong>2025 Patriots draft<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 The Patriots then parlayed that selection into Georgia center <strong>Jared Wilson<\/strong> (95th overall), LSU linebacker <strong>Bradyn Swinson<\/strong> (146th overall), and a 2026 4th-round pick, with the Patriots trading back twice from 77th, moving back initially to 85th, and then again before they ultimately took Wilson with the 95th overall selection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-17\">Judon had an up-and-down performance in Atlanta in 2024, ultimately finishing the season with 5.5 sacks along with 9 quarterback hits.\u00a0 However, he didn&#8217;t receive an extension from the Falcons and quietly remains among some interesting names still unsigned this offseason.\u00a0 Joining Judon in that group are some notable defensive names, such as <strong>Stephon Gilmore<\/strong>, <strong>Jadeveon Clowney<\/strong>, and <strong>Von Miller<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-8\">2) With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2025\/06\/11\/patriots-lineman-placed-on-reserved-retired-list\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>the retirement of Wes Schweizer last week<\/strong><\/a>, the competition at left guard seemed to see things tip in <strong>Cole Strange&#8217;s<\/strong> favor.\u00a0 But there was one name that was missing from the group competing at that spot, with <strong>Tyrese Robinson<\/strong> absent from the team&#8217;s recent sessions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-9\">However, Mike Reiss shed some light on the fourth-year former undrafted free agent&#8217;s absence on Sunday.\u00a0 Reiss reported<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/45507247\/patriots-christian-elliss-linebacker-starter-fathers-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong> in his weekly notes column<\/strong><\/a> that Robinson was away due to the death of his sister, who reportedly recently passed away from cancer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-10\">Robinson had been on an upward trajectory, with the 25-year-old playing 61\/64 snaps in the finale against Buffalo at right guard after stepping in for <strong>Mike Onwenu<\/strong>.\u00a0 Last year&#8217;s 2024 rookie, <strong>Layden Robinson<\/strong>, got the start at left guard in that game, playing 100% of the snaps in what was his 5th consecutive start on that side.\u00a0 The early reports had seemed positive for Robinson, who now has a shot to potentially earn a role on the depth chart in training camp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-11\">How things will shape up remains to be seen, and best wishes to the young lineman when he does return at the end of next month.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 p-0 pb-0\" style=\"background-color: #313131;

I think that\u2019s very special with all of them, seeing when they sit, when they run, certain things like that,\u201d he told Kyed. \u201cBut I mean, in this league, especially coming from the FCS, people are going to say the man coverage is going to be the biggest part of getting open. So, you know, just seeing what they did and take that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-18\">Plenty of lesser-talented guys have made it in this league by outworking the guys around them and maximizing the things they&#8217;re good at.\u00a0 That seems to be the track he&#8217;s on so far, which he likely hopes will see him among the last players standing by the time the team makes its final cuts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 p-0 pb-0\" style=\"background-color: #313131; text-align: right; border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pf_reveal lazy size-full wp-image-60661\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26446046_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26446046_168390408_lowres-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26446046_168390408_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26446046_168390408_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26446046_168390408_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26446046_168390408_lowres-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26446046_168390408_lowres-660x440.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/USATSI_26446046_168390408_lowres-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 450px, (max-width: 768px) 660px, (max-width: 1024px) 800px, 1200px\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"TreVeyon Henderson\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-0 mb-3 p-0 pb-3 pt-0 pr-3 pl-3\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 10px; color: white;\">(PHOTO: Eric Canha-Imagn Images)<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-18\">4) Rookie running back <strong>TreVeyon Henderson<\/strong> appears to be making a good early impression.\u00a0 His speed was something that turned a lot of heads this spring, and the players around him have seemingly been impressed by what they&#8217;ve seen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-20\">\u201cExplosive. An explosive guy,\u201d teammate <strong>Rhamondre Stevenson<\/strong> said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/2025\/06\/16\/sports\/patriots-rookie-running-back-treveyon-henderson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>via Christopher Price of the Boston Globe<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s learning. He\u2019s learning pretty quickly. And I\u2019m excited for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-21\">Henderson, at least so far, seems to have the edge ahead of <strong>Antonio Gibson<\/strong>, given how things reportedly played out this spring.\u00a0 One thing that&#8217;s also stood out in the early going is that Henderson&#8217;s ability to pass block was also notable, with his first real test coming next month when the club eventually dons pads for the first time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-21\">However, regardless of how things unfold or how many snaps he ultimately sees, Price spoke to Henderson&#8217;s former running backs coach at Ohio State,<strong> Carlos Locklyn<\/strong>, who said the rookie is an unselfish player, so he&#8217;ll likely fit in just fine regardless of how his playing time works out this fall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-22\">\u201cI think he\u2019s built for it, especially when you consider his time at Ohio State,\u201d Locklyn told Price. \u201cI mean, splitting carries ain\u2019t bad. He\u2019s not a selfish young man. All backs want the ball, but he understands playing as one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-23\">The hope this offseason was that New England would add some explosiveness to its offense, and Henderson remains someone who could absolutely be a difference-maker in 2025.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-24\">5) Head coach\u00a0<strong>Mike Vrabel<\/strong> talked about continuing to look at how they can get better at all levels, and it appears they&#8217;re doing just that in the front office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-25\">MassLive&#8217;s Mark Daniels <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masslive.com\/patriots\/2025\/06\/patriots-continue-to-reshape-front-office-analytics-department.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>reported on Monday<\/strong><\/a> that the Patriots have hired\u00a0<strong>Cam McCormick<\/strong> , and <strong>Ben Langford <\/strong>as scouting assistants, along with <strong>Max Mulitz<\/strong> as a personnel analytics director.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-26\">McCormick is a former player from the University of Miami, whom Daniels points out, <strong>Alonzo Highsmith<\/strong> had familiarity with. Langford joins the team from New Mexico Highlands University, while Mulitz worked with the Miami Dolphins last year as the team&#8217;s director of coaching analytics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-27\">The changes and additions in-house aren&#8217;t a surprise, given Vrabel&#8217;s comments last month.\u00a0 He said at the time everything was on the table, not just with players, but with coaches and at &#8220;every level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-28\">\u201cWe\u2019re going to continue to try to add players that are going to help us,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/patriots\/blog\/2025\/05\/09\/transcript-mike-vrabels-press-conference-5-9\/\"><strong>said Vrabel<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 &#8220;We\u2019re going to try to continue to add coaches that can help us potentially.
