Kraft Optimistic as Patriots End Playoff Drought

News summary

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has described the past two seasons as the worst of his 31-year ownership, highlighting back-to-back 4-13 records and the franchise's first three-year playoff drought since he bought the team. The team struggled after Bill Belichick's departure following the 2023 season and a failed transition under Jerod Mayo, who lasted only one year as head coach. Kraft has hired former Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel, expressing confidence in his leadership and connection with players. The Patriots have invested heavily in free agency, acquiring veterans like Stefon Diggs, and bolstered their roster through the draft to support young quarterback Drake Maye. Despite low preseason expectations, Kraft has promised a more competitive and enjoyable 2025 season with hopes of returning to playoff contention. However, while optimism is high, Kraft acknowledges that reclaiming the AFC East title may take more time.
