The veteran put his signature under a three-year, $63.5 million pact with the New England Patriots that made him the 20th highest paid wide receiver in the NFL on an annual value basis.
However, there is a catch. A...

He wanted his offense to be multiple, and capable of adapting based on situation, opponent or available personnel.
The team’s second-round selection in this year’s...

The Patriots did a good job addressing their needs in the NFL Draft.
The New England Patriots did a good job addressing their needs in the NFL Draft, but there is still room for improvement at multiple positions such as left guard, linebacker or edge.
The biggest issue among them, however, at least in the eyes of ESPN analyst Aaron Schatz, is at a position you might not expect.

Previewing the Patriots edge heading into his first season in New England.
The New England Patriots entered their 2024 training camp seemingly in good shape along their defensive edge. Midway through the season, the group’s outlook had changed drastically: Anfernee Jennings was still around as a starter, but none of the other top four at the position — Matthew Judon (traded), Joshua Uche (traded), Oshane Ximines (ACL tear) — were available...

The Patriots have filled a big vacancy in their front office.

Looking at the New England Patriots’ draft through the eyes of the consensus big board, we can see that several players qualify for the “steal” label. Among them, one stands out: fifth-round draft choice Bradyn Swinson, who was picked 78 slots lower than his big board ranking.
Obviously, this shows some type of disconnect between how the analysts viewed Swinson as a...

Dugger suffered an ankle injury in Week 4 of last season.
The 2024 season was a tough one for New England Patriots safety Kyle Dugger.
Much of that was due to a high ankle sprain that he suffered all the way back in Week 4. Dugger went to miss four games before suiting up in the Patriots final seven contests — where he was visibly limited — before undergoing surgery shortly after the season.
Back in the building for the start of the team’s...
