The confetti has barely settled in New Orleans and the party’s just starting in Philadelphia, but given the state of the New England Patriots’ roster, the work to improve should be underway.
Last year’s quiet offseason and draft put New England even farther behind the eight ball. Concurrently, their rookie quarterback appears ahead of schedule – which is great – but also demands support from the front office in helping Drake Maye make a leap in year two.
There can be no window shopping this offseason. Eliot Wolf and Ryan Cowden have to enter with a list and prepare to pay sticker price.
