Sunday Patriots Notes: ‘Identity soldiers’ setting tone at OTAs
The New England Patriots ramped up the intensity of their offseason this week, reconvening at Gillette Stadium for the first three of nine organized team activities.

3-Point Stance: Caleb Lomu will play a pivotal role in 2026
In the 2026 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots continued their investment in the offensive line, trading up to pick No. 28 to select Caleb Lomu.

What reworked Mike Onwenu contract means for the Patriots
Mike Onwenu has been the New England Patriots’ most reliable offensive lineman the last few seasons, but even a player of his stature and track record is not immune to being asked for a pay cut. This happened earlier this week, with the 28-year-old and the team agreeing to a reworked deal that shaves $7.5 […]

Patriots Mailbag: Could New England eye another trade target?
The first week of OTAs for the New England Patriots concludes on Friday before the calendar flips to the month of June — where an answer may finally come on A.J. Brown’s status. So, let’s get into this week’s #PostPulpit Mailbag. Is Josh Sweat a potential trade target for the Patriots? – mathblaster97Should the team […]
Contract details for Patriots draft pick Behren Morton
Even though they have MVP runner-up Drake Maye as their starter, the New England Patriots opted to spend a selection in this year’s NFL Draft at the quarterback position. Of course, seventh-rounder Behren Morton was not brought aboard to challenge Maye, but rather as a potential developmental backup. His status as the 234th pick in […]
Patriots confident in D-line depth despite Khyiris Tonga departure
The New England Patriots’ roster has improved at several positions since their Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks in February. One spot where that is not true is the interior defensive line, at least on paper. The Patriots, after all, saw Khyiris Tonga depart in free agency.

Patriots OT Will Campbell entering sophomore season with ‘extra motivation’
Will Campbell was thrown into the fire as a rookie in 2025, and the results looked the part. While he showed flashes reflective of his status as the fourth overall pick in the draft, he also had to deal with his fair share of issues. From struggling against some top-tier edge rushers, to missing time […]

Patriots players react to A.J. Brown trade rumors as OTAs begin
New England Patriots players have seen the rumors. It has been a long offseason of trade speculation surrounding the Patriots potentially acquiring star wide receiver A.J. Brown. Those rumors could soon become reality, as the Philadelphia Eagles are expected to move Brown after June 1 when the salary cap implications lessen. Until then, however, the […]
A.J. Brown trade rumors: Patriots and Eagles talks at an impasse?
Veteran wide receiver A.J. Brown getting traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the New England Patriots at some point this offseason can feel like the worst-kept secret in the NFL right now. Before such a move actually happens, however, the two teams still need to work out the details. That process is still very much […]
Drake Maye embracing rare continuity entering second year with Josh McDaniels
Continuity has been rare for Drake Maye throughout his football career. During his two seasons as the starting quarterback at the University of North Carolina, Maye played under two different offensive coordinators. That trend continued in the NFL, where rookie-year coordinator Alex Van Pelt lasted just one season before Josh McDaniels returned to New England […]

The New England Patriots kicked off their organized team activities this week, but with June 1 nearing might have another important item on their offseason itinerary: finalizing a trade for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J.

The New England Patriots welcomed players back for their 2026 organized team activities earlier this week, but one of their most valuable ones is not present for the proceedings.

Patriots 2026 scouting report for WR Jimmy Kibble
Despite plenty of speculation that they would address the position in the 2026 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots did not invest one of their picks in a wide receiver.

Patriots 2026 scouting report for WR Kyle Williams
One of the New England Patriots’ biggest shortcomings of the Bill Belichick era was an inability to draft and develop wide receivers. In that sense, Belichick’s legacy lives on under his successor as de facto GM, Eliot Wolf: in Wolf’s first draft in 2024, he selected a pair of wideouts who were both let go […]
Patriots executive: Working alongside son ‘really special’
For the New England Patriots, 2025 was a year of change. From the coaching staff, to the roster, to the personnel department, almost every part of the organization was shaken up one way or another.
