Last summer, the Patriots hosted the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles for joint practices in Foxborough.
During that training camp session, an Eagles defensive line that went on to dominate throughout the season took it to the Patriots offense. New England's offensive line couldn't keep Philly's pass-rushers out of the backfield, making life difficult on former quarterback Jacoby Brissett and then-rookie QB Drake Maye. It was a wake-up call for the Patriots offense at the time, but it also might've set the table for their biggest free-agent splash of the 2025 offseason.
Luckily, a key piece of the Eagles championship-caliber defensive front is now a New England Patriot.
