"The New England Patriots had an excellent 2025 offseason, one that checked the box on ensuring several important positions were fixed for the long term. Will Campbell and Jared Wilson should be long-term starters on the offensive line, and TreVeyon Henderson looks sure to be the running back for the next five years or so. In free agency, additions like Milton Williams and Robert Spillane ensured the core of the defense would be steady for the duration of their deals."
"Harold Landry and K'Lavon Chaisson lead the group of edge defenders, but Landry isn't an alpha edge rusher option. Chaisson was signed to a one-year deal, but looks poised to sign a big deal. While he's cooled off the last two games, he had 6.5 sacks in his first nine. Anfernee Jennings will likely be a cap casualty. Adding to a defense that ranks 20th in sacks makes sense."
New England locked in several long-term pieces during the 2025 offseason, setting starters at multiple positions. Will Campbell and Jared Wilson project as long-term starting offensive linemen, and TreVeyon Henderson projects as the primary running back for the next five years. Free agent signings such as Milton Williams and Robert Spillane added stability to the defensive core. Short-term veterans Garrett Bradbury, Morgan Moses, and Stefon Diggs provide 2025 stability but are not long-term answers. Adding youth and depth through the draft remains necessary. Primary draft needs include edge rusher, cornerback, and wide receiver. The defense's sack ranking (20th) supports adding pass-rush help.
