The Patriots’ future revolves around Drake Maye, who could use another offseason of offensive investment - The Boston Globe Despite playoff struggles, Maye provided plenty of reason for Patriots optimism moving forward.

Starting our Patriots’ positional analysis with a look at QB:

The final chapter didn’t provide the ending Patriots’ fans were hoping for, but the story of Drake Maye’s ascent throughout 2025 is the kind of thing that should maintain optimism about the direction of the franchise heading into 2026.

These draft prospects could do the Patriots’ offensive line some good - The Boston Globe If the team decides to build through the draft, Georgia’s Monroe Freeling, Northwestern’s Caleb Tiernan, and Texas A&M’s Chase Bisontis look the most promising.

That would play.

Getting irrationally excited about Rodriguez as a second-round possibility, although with his combine performance (including a 3-cone time of 6.9 that made me giddy with excitement), New England might have to trade up from 63 to make it happen.

I can only speak through my own experience having covered him, but in his pro-ready temperament and mien, Sonny Styles reminds me a lot of a young Dont’a Hightower. A grown man who will arrive in the NFL as a fully-formed individual.

LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier comes to the defense of Patriots left tackle (and ex-college teammate) Will Campbell - The Boston Globe Nussmeier, who was a teammate of Campbell’s for three years, was upset with those who went after Campbell in the days after the Super Bowl.

Garrett Nussmeier on Will Campbell’s critics after Super Bowl LX.

“People sometimes don’t really know what they’re talking about. [They] like to get on Twitter. They live in their parents’ basement, and like to say things that they have no idea what they’re talking about. They don’t know football.”

That was wild.

Yeah, unless something wacky happens.

Have a day, Kenyon Sadiq.

And I mostly agree with you, TBH.

Scar just turned 78. 78! I'm trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to talk him into writing a book. Love that dude.

No. More of a case of a rookie struggling in a high-profile game IMO. There wasn't this sort of reaction after Myles Garrett outplayed him in October, for example.

Think the timing of the knee injury sucked--didn't have a lengthy (necessary) runway to return before the playoffs & it cost him.

The Official Sports App, that's why

Didn't say anything bad about Bluesky though!

Yes. The new facility is expected to provide a significant upgrade when it comes to locker/weight room areas. Family services did see an upgrade this past year as well. They have seen a boost in many areas, but there are the same complaints almost every year when it comes to the plane.

The NFL has informed its clubs in a memo that the salary cap number for the 2026 season is $301.2 million per club, up $22 million.

On the flip side: “The team continues to show improvement in its treatment of families. When asked what the team does best, players point to first-year head coach Mike Vrabel and the culture established by his staff.”

“The Patriots team travel remains a significant concern. The team airplane ranks last in the league, with players citing outdated conditions, lack of Wi-Fi, and insufficient space, with one player describing the plane as feeling ‘borderline unsafe.’”

Good morning from Indy.

Garrett Nussmeier says hey.

He also said Brady was on the phone when he met with the Raiders.

I asked him about IU teammate Omar Cooper, a WR who might be available to the Patriots at the end of the first round.

Combined issued, but it looks natural on him.
