Patriots 2025 free agency tracker: Updated additions and departures originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
The New England Patriots have plenty of work do in one of their most pivotal offseasons in recent memory.
New head coach Mike Vrabel inherits a team that’s gone 4-13 in back-to-back seasons and a roster that’s one of the worst in the NFL. The good news is that New England has a wealth of resources to improve its roster, notably the most cap space in the NFL and the No. 4 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The challenge for Vrabel, executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf and VP of player personnel Ryan Cowden will be identifying the right players to add via free agency and the draft, as well as determining which current Patriots players to subtract.
