Vrabel: Patriots Will Explore All Upgrades, Including A.J. Brown

At the NFL Scouting Combine, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said New England will look at everything to improve the roster, keeping the door open to potential moves like trading for Eagles star A.J. Brown. Brown, who formerly played for Vrabel in Tennessee, has been productive but his 2025 numbers dipped, and any deal would depend on compensation and fit. Eagles GM Howie Roseman suggested you don’t improve by subtracting great players, so a Brown trade remains speculative as the draft approaches.

Franchise Tag Narrows Patriots’ Tight End Options

The Falcons are expected to franchise-tag Kyle Pitts, removing the top tight end option from free agency and narrowing the Patriots’ pursuit at the position. With Austin Hooper set to hit unrestricted free agency, New England currently has Hunter Henry, C.J. Dippre, and Marshall Lang under contract for 2026, leaving room to target other available tight ends such as Cade Otton, Isaiah Likely, Charlie Kolar, or Chigoziem Okonkwo, while Fant, Njoku, and Goedert are not on the market.

Raiders weigh Crosby-to-Patriots blockbuster for 2026 picks and Barmore

CBS Sports’ Tyler Sullivan floated five Crosby trade scenarios, with the standout sending Maxx Crosby to the Patriots for two 2026 top-100 picks (No. 31 and No. 63) plus DT Christian Barmore; the deal would give the Raiders five top-100 picks in 2026 (plus pick 102) to fuel the rebuild, while New England would land a premier edge rusher, though Barmore’s impact against the run would be limited.

Seahawks crack Patriots' tell to dominate in Super Bowl 2026

Seattle exploited a Patriots tell on how they set their guards and tackles, particularly oversetting on rushes, to pressure Drake Maye, sacking him six times and forcing two interceptions as New England was held to 78 yards and five first downs through three quarters and punted on eight of nine opening drives. The performance reflected Mike Macdonald’s aggressive game plan, with Devon Witherspoon noting the tell helped Seattle anticipate the Patriots’ attack and execute a dominant defensive effort in Super Bowl 2026.

Patriots QB Maye Reveals Pre-Game Shoulder Injection Before Super Bowl

Drake Maye disclosed he had a shoulder injection before kickoff of Super Bowl 60 after injuring it in the AFC Championship. He said he felt good enough to play and wouldn’t jeopardize the team, though he wouldn’t confirm if the injury affected his performance. Vrabel downplayed the issue, and Maye delivered uneven showings in the late-season games, with no clear signals of offseason impact from the shoulder move.

Diggs Expects to Remain with Patriots If They Don’t Opt Out

Stefon Diggs says he expects to stay with the New England Patriots beyond 2026 unless they opt out of his three-year deal; after returning from a torn ACL, he posted 85 receptions for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns, marking his seventh 1,000-yard season and the first by a Patriots receiver since 2019, though the team could save $16.8 million by releasing him.

Maye's Super Bowl Struggles Put Patriots in a Deep Hole

Drake Maye's breakout season ends with a rough performance in Super Bowl LX as Seattle's defense applies relentless pressure and New England's offense stalls. He goes for 295 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, but costly fourth-quarter turnovers and a stalled drive tally contribute to a 29-13 loss, underscoring a stark contrast to his MVP-like regular season and leaving the Patriots to regroup after a disappointing championship showcase.

Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium, led by Kenneth Walker III’s 135 rushing yards (and two receptions) as he earned SB MVP. Seattle’s defense harassed Drake Maye all night, and a late defensive TD by Uchenna Nwosu helped put the game away after Seattle built a halftime lead. Jason Myers tied a SB record with five field goals, while Sam Darnold and the Seahawks offense did enough to convert drives, and New England’s offense, hampered by sacks and turnovers, never mounted a true comeback.
