The Patriots were active in the first week of NFL free agency, agreeing to deals with 13 players as of Sunday afternoon. Several signings helped shore up positions of need as well, with defense getting a fresh look.
Still, there are a few positions that New England will likely have to address if it hopes to win more than four games in 2025. The Patriots only made one signing at wide receiver and one along the offensive line in the first week of free agency. They also created a need later in the week when they released longtime center David Andrews.
