In 2025, the New England Patriots came out swinging on the first day of free agency. This year, they appear to be taking a different approach.
Mike Vrabel’s club signed just three players Monday — DE Dre’Mont Jones, FB Reggie Gilliam and OG Alijah Vera-Tucker — while watching big names like wide receivers Alec Pierce and Mike Evans go off the board.
Arguably the Patriots’ most pressing need is at wide receiver, and while they could address that need on the trade market (A.J. Brown, perhaps?), there are still available wideouts worth considering in free agency.
