New England Patriots Off-Season Update
Patriots off season update
Additions and subtractions since we last spoke
IN _ S - Kevin Byard – 1st team all pro. Elite, premier ball hawk, communicator and play maker, lead NFL in INTs last year. 164 games career games. Ex Titan 32 years old. $8million 1 year
OUT – Jaylin Hawkins to the Ravens. Bye bye.
IN – Julian Hill 3 year up $18 million. 45 games – 25 starts for Miami. Blocking TE. 33 Rec 288 yards 0 TDs in career.
OUT – Hooper and Westover. Bye bye.
Lesser depth pieces – IN S – Mike Brown ex Titan.
IN - KJ Britt LB. Maybe more than depth. Ex 5th round pick of Bucs.
OUT – LBs, Tavia, Jennings, Jack Gibbens.
Running through the up to date Patriots Roster
AJ Brown reportedly wont be traded until June 1st to avoid a cap hit. Seems like Pats are willing to wait.
Eagles signed Hollywood Brown reportedly. 1 year $6.5 million
Denver wasn’t - Jaylen Waddle traded to Broncos for 1st, 3rd, and 4th. YUCK. Another team off the board for Eagles.
“…The whole idea of the No. 1 receiver, how many of them are there in the NFL?” Wolf said. “Maybe half the teams have one. So I don’t know if that’s a prerequisite for being a good football team. In my experience, it hasn’t been. I think as long as you have a lot of good players and diverse skill sets, like we have, then that stuff kind of takes care of itself.”
NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe shared his thoughts on the moves on The Insiders.
"They may not be done at either position, in regards to safety or wide receiver," Wolfe said. "This is a team that's still looking to upgrade in the next few days ahead, and a team that feels like last year was just the beginning of what could be a great run under Mike Vrabel in New England."
Any news on Diggs? Some rumblings he may be an option to come back. For it?
According to Wolf, there was a combination of factors that came into play when making the decision. Diggs was a key factor for the Patriots' offense in 2025, recording 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns.
However, he was set to cost $26.5 million against the salary cap in 2026 at 32 years old. It was a tough spot for the Patriots, unless both sides could agree on a restructured deal.
“Just a variety of factors, looking at financials, ability… Nothing but respect for Stefon," Wolf told reporters.
"I wouldn’t say the door’s closed,” Wolf said, via Patriots Wire's Sophie Weller. “I mean, again, we’re gonna look through every way we possibly can to help improve the team.”

Biggest needs:
Offensive Line Depth – Tackle. Lowe replacement/ Moses successor
Another high-end WR
Doubs, Hollins, Boutte, Douglas, Williams
Edge Rusher They ranked 26th in sacks, 20th in sack percentage and 23rd in opponent's time to throw last season, per Next Gen Stats.
Per NBC sports – 3rd down passing catching back. Shouldn’t that be Henderson?
I want another pass catching TE.
