FOXBORO, Mass. — Opinions are mixed on what the Patriots have done so far this offseason.
On one hand, New England added pass-catching help in JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mike Gesicki, and bolstered its offensive line depth with tackles Calvin Anderson and Reiff. It also re-signed cornerback Jonathan Jones, arguably the franchise’s top internal free agent.
But on the other hand, the Patriots basically are running it back on defense and you could argue they’ve made only slight improvements on offense. The implication then would be that New England believes its personnel wasn’t the problem in 2022, and that coaching dysfunction created by Matt Patricia and Joe Judge was the real issue.
