Patriots Overhaul Roster in Major Rebuild

The New England Patriots have made major offseason changes, hiring Mike Vrabel as head coach and revamping their roster on both sides of the ball. Defensive additions include Harold Landry III, Milton Williams (who signed a four-year, $104 million contract), Robert Spillane, and Carlton Davis III, with Williams projected to have a breakout season. There is ongoing speculation about signing veteran pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney and drafting Oregon’s Matayo Uiagalelei in 2026 to further bolster the defense. The shift to a faster, more versatile defensive scheme could put established linebacker Jahlani Tavai at risk of being cut. On offense, the Patriots acquired veteran receiver Stefon Diggs to support young quarterback Drake Maye. The aggressive moves signal a transformational rebuild under Vrabel, fueling optimism for both immediate and future success.
