some Bobby Dalbec propaganda, which I promise wasn't written by @keaganstiefel.bsky.social #RedSox nesn.com/2025/05/pote...

Seth McLaughlin in the 5th? Garrett Bradbury/Cole Strange/Ben Brown aren't long-term answers. The #Patriots can trust they have a stopgap, but I would keep looking.

The #Patriots aren't keeping secrets, but it's still remarkable how many of their signings have experience with the staff. Morgan Moses ➡️ Downing Carlton Davis ➡️ Williams Robert Spillane ➡️ McDaniels Harold Landry ➡️ Vrabel Josh Dobbs ➡️ Vrabel Mack Hollins ➡️ McDaniels K'Lavon Chaisson ➡️ Marrone

"You don't need a miracle to win football games. You just need the right people in the building." Morgan Moses is one of the most impressive players I've ever heard from -- no wasted breath. I'd throw the captain's patch on him immediately.

Joe Milton III probably isn’t long for New England. The Patriots know that, but they’re smartly keeping their cards close to the vest.

Life Update: NESN eliminated the editorial staff last week, which unfortunately included my position. It’s tough timing, but I’ll still be producing content until May before becoming a free agent. I’m open to opportunities, so send them my way. We move.

The #Patriots had a decent start to free agency, but what’s next? It’s complicated, but their best course of action could be exploring creative options throughout the remainder of the offseason.

New England Patriots legend Mack Hollins

I’d expect the #Patriots to do these three things over the coming days: 1. sign Patrick Mekeri 2. add another IDL 3. check back in on Brandon Aiyuk

Who’s next, folks? WR? S? OL?

The #Patriots are having a decent afternoon… Harold Landry (3yr, $43M) Carlton Davis (3yr, $60M) Robert Spillane (3yr, $37M) Morgan Moses (3yr, $24M) Milton Williams (4yr, $100M+) … and should have plenty of room to do more.

The Patriots swoop in and steal Milton Williams from the Carolina Panthers… for $26M per. Am I good or am I good?

probably not a mistake after all.

New England is signing Morgan Moses to a 3yr, $24M deal, per Mike Garafolo. Moses is a good player, but this deal requires a continued search for help at tackle. The #Patriots shouldn’t be done.

The #Patriots still have options, folks. Javon Hargrave? Sebastian Joseph-Day? Tershawn Wharton? Levi Onwuzurike? NE could put the finishing touches on a completely revamped defensive unit as early as today.

the #Patriots at least have been able to sign players who have some connection to the coaching staff.

The #Patriots should say fuck it and just go sign one of those safeties.

Nate Hobbs playing in the slot between Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis? ooooooooweeeeeeeeeee

The #Patriots are looking pretty good at CB… Carlton Davis gets a 3yr, $60M deal, giving them a ball-hawking option opposite Christian Gonzalez.

The #Patriots should be shifting their focus to Levi Onwuzurike, wouldn’t be surprised to see a deal come together rather quickly.

Milton Williams to the Carolina Panthers… aaaaaaaand this is a disastrous start.

Dan Moore to TEN. Jaylon Moore to KC. It’s feeling like Cam Robinson or bust for NE.

WOAH. Spillane getting north of $10M wasn’t expected over here, but we clearly saw how much an off-ball linebacker costs nowadays.

Robert Spillane to New England. Good player, if not unspectacular.

Milton Williams might make $26M per...

I'd rather "miss out" on a WR2 cosplaying as a WR1 than overpay by more than half his total salary, giving myself less of an opportunity to fix other aspects of my dreadful roster. IDK, maybe that's just me.

It’s starting to become an undeniable fact that Massachusetts’ taxes are slowly decimating the proudest sports franchise over the last quarter-century.

Chris Godwin never made sense to me, feels like overpaying because of your own incompetence. The #Patriots should wait things out, feels like there’s a decent chance Ja’Marr Chase or Tee Higgins eventually become available.

X going down is beautiful.

The #Patriots can now officially embark on what is expected to be a transformative offseason — with trades, free agency moves and draft picks combining to (hopefully) turn things around. I’ve provided a blueprint. Welcome to the Patriots Manifesto!

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." The Patriots' latest coaching decision fits that old saying, and is primed to end just as poorly as previous examples. ✍️ for NESN:

The #Patriots will soon put the finishing touches on an important week down in Mobile, Ala. It's time to talk studs (Alexander, Darius) and duds (Gabriel, Dillon) from the Senior Bowl. ✍️ for NESN:

Mike Vrabel's connections run deep, which should help him build out a formidable coaching staff in New England. The #Patriots should start with these six names when looking for a new DC. ✍️ for NESN:

THOUGHT: The #Patriots really want Mike Vrabel, but not at the price it'll take to hire him. Ben Johnson and his "impressive interview" are being used as leverage to get that number down to something more comfortable.

The Patriots could soon hire Mike Vrabel, but what would the rest of his staff look like? I've got some ideas... ✍️ for NESN:

HC: Mike Vrabel OC: Josh McDaniels/Tommy Rees DC: Shane Bowen STC: Tom Quinn/Jeremy Springer I'd be willing to slap a few shackles down on this being the direction the #Patriots are headed...

The Patriots are in decent shape as it pertains to their coaching search, but the process has left a lot to be desired. It'd be a disaster if they only interviewed four candidates. ✍️ for NESN:

The #Patriots have interviewed two external minority candidates (Byron Leftwich and Pep Hamilton) that were immediately available. Will they make a run at anyone legitimate (Aaron Glenn and Brian Flores), or were they just checking boxes?

"I love Jerod. I loved playing for him… we gotta just cherish the moments we had with him.” Jerod Mayo still has supporters down at One Patriot Place.

"We have never told any coach to limit the spending." Robert Kraft had a strong response after being informed of public perception regarding his spending habits on Monday.

The Patriots will give their next head coach the power to make some substantial decisions, according to owner Robert Kraft.

The Patriots lost out on the No. 1 overall pick, but while that isn't ideal, they still could land an impressive prospect at No. 4. ✍️ for NESN:

The Patriots fired Jerod Mayo on Sunday, just minutes after his players advocated for him to return.

The Patriots will soon start looking for their third head coach in the last three seasons. Let’s discuss some of the potential top candidates.

The Patriots technically won on Sunday, but it sure didn't feel that way.

The Patriots seemingly benched linebacker Jahlani Tavai on Sunday. Good.

The Patriots are going to win, aren't they?

The Patriots very well might have tipped their hand shortly before Sunday's matchup with the Bills, making a notable quarterback change on the inactive list.
