"The New England Patriots ended their 2025 season with a heartbreaking loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. Although the defense held their own, the offense fell apart, highlighting the improvements needed during the offseason to give them the best chance of making another deep postseason run. Yet it's also clear that upgrades are needed on defense, despite their impressive performance, and one player worth considering a blockbuster trade for continues to be Raiders' pass rusher Maxx Crosby."
"The two current edge players are Harold Landry III, who had a solid season with 8.5 sacks. The other is unrestricted free agent K'Lavon Chaisson, who had 7.5 sacks in the regular season and has followed that up with three more in the playoffs. He's a big-game player for certain, and he'll make a bagful of cash this offseason. Maxx Crosby would be a great edge addition to the Patriots 2026 roster"
The New England Patriots ended their 2025 season with a heartbreaking loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. The defense performed well but the offense collapsed, revealing offseason improvement needs to enable another deep postseason run. Defensive upgrades remain necessary despite impressive play. Current edge options include Harold Landry III (8.5 sacks) and unrestricted free agent K'Lavon Chaisson (7.5 regular-season sacks, three postseason sacks). Chaisson will command significant salary in free agency. Prioritizing a top edge rusher who can record double-digit sacks is emphasized, with Maxx Crosby identified as a potential blockbuster trade target.
