Head coach Mike Vrabel assembled an impressive group of assistants that includes two former head coaches in offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and offensive line coach Doug Marrone, a former interim head coach in passing game coordinator and tight ends coach Thomas Brown and a former offensive coordinator in wide receivers coach Todd Downing.

Mike Vrabel revealed an interesting tidbit about his relationship with Josh McDaniels before being hired as the Patriots next head coach on Tuesday.

Mike Vrabel addressed the media at the NFL Combine, and sounded like he’s got final say on personnel decisions facing the team as they attempt to rebuild and support Drake Maye.

There’s a lack of high-end talent available in free agency at wide receiver, where Tee Higgins is the top option. So, that’s one area where the Patriots might have to overpay. The next best players available include Stefon Diggs, Chris Godwin, Amari Cooper, Darius Slayton and Marquise Brown.

The list of slot receivers new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has helped blossom is impressive. Might DeMario Douglas be next?

Mike Vrabel left little doubt about who's calling the shots in New England while speaking to reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine, writes Phil Perry.

And that starts with free agency. The Patriots have many holes on their roster, and they need some veteran players to help them get back on track. So, how does new Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel expect to approach free agency?

Bill Belichick controlled every aspect of the New England Patriots’ football operations for more than two decades. When he left the organization after the 2023 season, the organization was therefore forced to adapt its approach and modernize its hierarchy.

Head coach Mike Vrabel put forth a clear plan for how the Patriots intend to attack NFL free agency next month.
