The New England Patriots have reportedly been aggressively looking to upgrade their receiver room. There has been quite a bit of talk about Jacksonville Jaguars receiver, Calvin Ridley potentially joining the Patriots. Director of Scouting, Eliot Wolf has an offer on the table for Ridley and is waiting to hear back. If New England misses out on the star Jaguars receiver, they may look to a potential trade. Some names to watch are Tee Higgins, who requested a trade from the Bengals yesterday, and Brandon Aiyuk. Aiyuk has made it clear he is unhappy with the way he has been…

The New England Patriots have had a decent start to NFL Free Agency. Retaining some of their own players, and adding some depth pieces, but could they look to make a large splash? Recently released safety Justin Simmons is a player that comes to mind. By adding a veteran playmaker to their secondary, the Patriots could help solidify themselves as a top ten defense. Simmons is an experienced veteran with great instincts, and would be a great addition to an already fierce New England defense. Simmons could be a great presence to have on the field, not just for his…
The New England Patriots have been fairly quiet since Free Agency officially started. Could they be working in silence on a huge deal? Calvin Ridley, receiver for the Jacksonville Jaguars has been a name to watch for New England, and the Jaguars just agreed on a deal with wide receiver Gabe Davis. Could this mean that Ridley is on his way out of Florida? For fans of the New England Patriots, the addition of Calvin Ridley would be a massive upgrade to the current receiver room. The Foxboro Faithful is currently holding their breath, in hopes that Eliot Wolf can…
The New England Patriots have made it clear that they wish to get back to winning as soon as possible. Could that mean getting aggressive when the NFL Draft rolls around in April? Obviously the easiest way to start winning games is having a franchise quarterback that can lift the team around him. Which is exactly why the Patriots should select one of the top prospects at third overall. Whether that is Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye, they shouldn’t hesitate when it comes to taking a quarterback. This will allow them to be more aggressive later in the Draft. A…
The New England Patriots have quite a few needs this off-season, and one of the biggest needs is wide receiver. Luckily for New England, the 2024 NFL Draft might be the most talented wide receiver class ever. With the NFL Scouting Combine in the rearview mirror, this year’s prospects are onto the next stage of their Draft journey. It is safe to say that the wide receivers stole the show at the Combine. Not only was their a new forty yard dash record set, (4.21 seconds for Xavier Worthy), but many players absolutely crushed it in their workouts. Every year…
The New England Patriots Organization has made it clear that they are looking to get much better this off-season. Patriots Director of Scouting, Eliot Wolf, spoke at the NFL Scouting Combine last week and talked about how they need to weaponize their offense. It is clear that they need to get more explosive and become more dynamic. New England has shown quite a bit of interest in LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels. Daniels is an incredible prospect and will have an immediate impact on whatever team that drafts him. If New England can land the star quarterback at the third overall…
The New England Patriots Director of Scouting, Eliot Wolf, spoke to the media on Tuesday morning. He had quite a few interesting things to say that give Patriots fans reason to be excited. Wolf spoke at the NFL Scouting Combine, and discussed different actions that New England might take in order to better their roster for the 2024 season. Whether it is Free Agency or Draft strategy, the Patriots organization definitely has a lot of work to do in the upcoming months. Wolf answered quite a few questions which is a welcome change for New England fans, that are used…
The 2024 NFL Scouting Combine has arrived, and New England Patriots Head Coach Jerod Mayo will be in attendance. This doesn’t come as much of a surprise, but is still very exciting to Patriots fans, who are in for one of the most interesting off-seasons in New England history. There is much more to the Combine than watching talented players show off their skills in hopes of being drafted. There are many conversations that go on between front office members of teams and opposing coaches, that could result in some big time trades. Discussions of moving around the NFL Draft…
The New England Patriots have a talented and high powered defense. Their speed and athleticism creates havoc for opposing teams, and one of the most important positions in Foxborough is linebacker. The Patriots have had some incredible linebackers throughout the years of their dynasty. This year, the linebackers aren’t being talked about as much and could be going under the radar as a pretty solid unit. Not to mention their newly hired inside linebackers coach Dont’a Hightower. Hightower is a legend in New England. He was a huge part of the Patriots Dynasty as a starting linebacker. He made play…
The New England Patriots coaching staff has made it clear that they will be looking to upgrade the talent on their roster for the 2024 season. Luckily for them, slot receiver will most likely be a low priority seeing as they have DeMario Douglas under contract. With a disappointing 2023 season in the rearview mirror, Douglas was one of the very few bright spots. As a sixth round pick, Douglas was very underrated heading into Foxborough. His college highlights showed some great potential with multiple big plays, and great athleticism, but being one of the smaller receivers at five foot…
