Patriots Wire

The New England Patriots need a shot in the arm on the offensive side of the ball, and they could very well get there by making the right moves in free agency and the 2025 NFL draft. Good offensive linemen are a rare commodity in the NFL, which is something the Patriots found out the hard way in 2024. They need to do a better job of rounding out their depth in free agency, while also eyeing a top left tackle in the draft. Teams aren’t going to just fork over their top left tackle in a trade. So the Patriots need to be aggressive when it comes to addressing the position in the draft. They also need to be aggressive at adding receiving weapons around burgeoning star quarterback Drake Maye. An easy option should be shelling out the money necessary to sign disgruntled Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins in free agency.
