Bill Belichick finally had to face facts. The New England Patriots defense was never going to be elite without a standout pass-rusher. Belichick and the suddenly big-spending Patriots solved the problem by agreeing to a bumper deal with free-agent edge-rusher Matt Judon on Monday.
They took their sweet time, but the New England Patriots have finally replaced Rob Gronkowski. The Patriots agreed to a deal with free-agent tight end Jonnu Smith earlier today.
As free agency and the draft approach, every team has some level of excitement. Some teams are looking to contend in 2021. Others only want to move in the right direction. However, the NFL is unique in that every team has a chance to win the Super Bowl each season.
For the first time in his career, Kenny Golladay is set to hit the open market. The Detroit Lions decided not to franchise tag the star receiver on Tuesday, making him an unrestricted free agent. Which five teams could make a run at Golladay’s services?
Prior to the 2020 NFL season, three questions were posed for each of the 32 teams. This is the recap and answers to those questions for the New England Patriots.
In their first season without Tom Brady since the turn of the century, the New England Patriots finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs. Unfortunately for the Patriots, they are picking in the middle of the first round with the 15th overall selection.

While the New England Patriots struggled to finish with a 7-9 record, they got to watch Tom Brady win his seventh Super Bowl title with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, the Patriots could return to the playoffs next season with an aggressive offseason.
2020 was a tough season for the New England Patriots. In their first season post-Tom Brady, the Cam Newton-led squad finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs. While the Patriots’ special teams and defense struggled, their offense proved to be a liability, forcing costly turnovers and ultimately losing several games.
Entering the 2020 NFL season, the Detroit Lions were unlikely to make the playoffs. However, they had expectations to push for a Wild Card spot. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen as the team started the season 3-3 but finished 5-11 after losing four straight games to end the year. After their embarrassing loss to the Houston Texans on Thanksgiving, head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn were fired. The biggest question for their replacements is: what to do with Matthew Stafford?
The New England Patriots (7-9) defeated the New York Jets (2-14) in the final game of an underwhelming season for both sides. Cam Newton wasn’t the successor to Tom Brady that most Patriots fans were hoping for, and Sam Darnold disappointed once again this year for the Jets. Despite it being an ugly year for New England, they continued their recent streak of dominance over New York, ending the 2020 campaign on a high note.
Monday Night Football in Week 16 featured a division game between the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots. The Bills dominated from the start and cruised to a 38-9 victory. Cam Newton was benched early in the second half for Jarrett Stidham, putting his future with New England further in question.
