The 2024 Patriots season might be an arduous one for fans.
Even with the excitement drummed up this spring with the drafting of Drake Maye, New England’s flawed roster is still hampered by vacancies across the depth chart, especially on the offensive line.
Adding in the absence of a proven No. 1 receiver, the potential loss of Christian Barmore for the season due to blood clots, and the growing pains that await both Maye and first-head coach Jerod Mayo, the Patriots are likely staring at a multi-year rebuild.
It hasn’t taken very long for sentiment surrounding this current team to sour, especially after New England’s offensive line was routinely splintered during Tuesday’s joint practice against the Eagles, giving Maye, Jacoby Brissett, and the rest of the Patriots’ QBs little time to operate on offense.
