The Patriots’ 2024 offseason hasn’t exactly gone according to plan.
Even though New England’s efforts to revitalize a roster that went 4-13 last season won’t be fully realized until the 2024 NFL Draft wraps, the Patriots had several avenues to bolster their team this spring via free agency or trades.

After pledging to “burn some cash” during a radio spot on WEEI in January, Jerod Mayo backtracked from those claims just a month later.
