Damien Woody believes Robert Kraft's motivation could spur Patriots' 'splash moves'

Robert Kraft expected the New England Patriots to return to relevance in 2022. That didn't happen. So, might the Patriots owner take a more hands-on approach in 2023 to ensure that does happen?

Former Patriots offensive lineman Damien Woody subscribes to that theory. Woody, who won two Super Bowl titles during his five-year stint with New England (1999 to 2003), believes the team's relative lack of success in recent years will motivate Kraft to advocate for drastic action this offseason.

"I know this has to be eating Mr. Kraft up, that the Patriots are basically irrelevant," Woody told the Boston Herald's Karen Guregian.
