Dre’Mont Jones has suited up in 108 games across his eight-year NFL career. None of them, however, have come in the playoffs. The 29-year old pass rusher is looking to change that, which is one of the driving reasons he signed with the Patriots in free agency. “I haven’t experienced the playoffs since college football. […]

After already parting ways with director of scouting projects Marshall Oium, the reigning AFC champions also had to make a change at their Midwest area scout position.

The Pittsburgh Steelers made one of the biggest splashes of the NFL Draft, selecting quarterback Drew Allar out of Penn State in the third round.

The writing was on the wall, and on Tuesday it finally happened: the New England Patriots picked up cornerback Christian Gonzalez’s fifth-year contract option.
