Based on my interpretation of Article 45
overthecap.com/collective-b... I will be adding $2.1M to my list of projected future cap expenses to account for Antonio Gibson possibly qualifying for injury protection. I do not mean future years (2027 and beyond) but the start of the 2026 regular season
The #Patriots must prioritize getting Drake Maye at least one pass catcher who can win on big posts
Deep split-field zone variations kept a lid on NE’s deep pass game during the playoffs, but that schematic advantage fades vs players who can go up and dominate at the catch point
Still think Drake needs a legit jump ball receiver
Kyle’s more of a separator, and Kayshon’s great in contested situations but lacks size
Kayshon Boutte's taken a step forward in each year of his career, becoming one of the NFL's most efficient deep targets in 2025
For 2026, I'm hoping he can keep ascending and become a more well-rounded, potentially higher-volume threat
Remember when people said Christian Gonzalez couldn't tackle
Craig Woodson finished his rookie year with PFF’s highest run defense grade among safeties with at least 100 such snaps
#Patriots QBs coach Ashton Grant will remain in New England rather than pursue the Raiders’ vacant OC job, per Adam Schefter
What Maye said about potentially working with Grant and OC Josh McDaniels again in 2026:
Figured this could be the case given how impressive Zack Kuhr was down the stretch as interim DC
The #Patriots could (relative) have continuity at all three coordinator spots entering 2026
Robert Kugler has been hired as the Steelers’ TEs coach after two seasons as an assistant OL coach for the #Patriots
Heads up: my Twitter was hacked
Might be a sign from the universe!
New Patriots scouting report feat. @tkyles39.bsky.social just dropped: rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson is a big play waiting to happen.
The most comprehensive Patriots scouting report yet from @tkyles39.bsky.social and myself: Drake Maye, whose development is the biggest story of New England's season.
The latest Patriots scouting report from @tkyles39.bsky.social and myself is online: 1,900 words on Stefon Diggs, a potential difference-maker at wide receiver.
Stefon Diggs is a Patriot, so what does that mean for New England?
Together with @tkyles39.bsky.social, a big-picture look at a splash signing at the wide receiver position.
If the Patriots miss out on Carter and Hunter, @tkyles39.bsky.social is drafting OT Armand Membou!
Taylor and @mikekadlick.bsky.social discuss what New England should do if they miss out on Abdul & Travis: youtu.be/cSKLO-91A6Y

"He requires guard help in pass protection. Kind of an underwhelming physical presence is essentially what he is, he's a skilled zone run blocker,"

What signing Marcus Epps and Wes Schweitzer in free agency means for the Patriots, including @tkyles39.bsky.social pulling out the film, a look at the leadership aspect, and more.
What signing K’Lavon Chaisson in free agency means for the Patriots, including a @tkyles39.bsky.social look at the film, his impact on other front seven defenders, and more.
Together with @tkyles39.bsky.social: What signing Morgan Moses in free agency means for the Patriots – including a look at his film, at his recent injury history, and at the trickle-down effects his addition has at two spots up front.
What signing Robert Spillane in free agency means for the Patriots, including @tkyles39.bsky.social looking at his film, the off-field value he provides, and more.
Robert Spillane (#41) tackling the RB through his lead blocker
Josh Dobbs played for Mike Vrabel’s Titans in 2022 and overlapped with Ashton Grant in Cleveland
Some remaining free agents at spots of need with #Patriots connections:
WR Darius Slayton
WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine
WR Mike Williams
LT Cam Robinson
LT Jedrick Wills
OL Mekhi Becton
OL Teven Jenkins
C Coleman Shelton
ED Za’Darius Smith
ED Azeez Ojulari
Two of my top priorities for the #Patriots were addressing the defense’s spine and boosting the trenches
Still work to do, but I’d say they’ve done as well as could be expected so far:
DT Milton Williams
ED Harold Landry
LB Robert Spillane
NT Khyiris Tonga
OL Morgan Moses
Now go sign Darius Slayton and win free agent
There it is
The #Patriots free agent class look A LOT better now
