The New England Patriots can’t beg and choose this offseason.
Two straight last-place finishes in the AFC East place the Patriots right where they were last offseason, only this time it’s with Mike Vrabel as the team’s head coach. New England secured the No. 4 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft after its disastrous 4-13 campaign, and the front office isn’t content with watching Gillette Stadium turn into a boo fest once more. So, options are open — wide-open — for newcomers, especially in free agency, as the Patriots aim to turn things around with a major roster transformation.
