The Patriots’ turnaround season came to a quick end in the playoffs, with New England losing 47-17 to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round on Saturday night.
Coming off a playoff berth, it’s hard to argue against the Patriots being in a better spot this offseason than they were was last offseason. They appear to at least have a solution at quarterback for the foreseeable future in Mac Jones. He’s under contract on his rookie deal for at least three more seasons, but the team will have to decide if they want to pick up his fifth-year option before the 2024 season.
