The Patriots' wide receiver room underwent a major overhaul with Mike Vrabel as head coach. Vrabel signed veterans Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins, drafted Kyle Williams in the third round, and added undrafted free agent Efton Chism III, who made the roster. Only Pop Douglas and Kayshon Boutte remain from the 2024 receiver group on the 2025 53-man roster. The additions represent a clear upgrade if players stay healthy. Vince Wilfork believes Vrabel may pursue another receiver, possibly via trade. Jakobi Meyers is a media-suggested target amid a contract dispute with the Raiders. Front-office comments from Eliot Wolf and Ryan Cowden complicate trade-readiness.
The Patriots' wide receiver room has undergone a major revision this offseason with Mike Vrabel as the new Head Coach. Vrabel added two solid veteran free agents in Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins. He also drafted Kyle Williams in the third round, and as an added bonus, undrafted free agent Efton Chism III was sensational and made the team. That's a major transformation as only two receivers from 2024 are still on the 2025, 53-man roster: Pop Douglas and Kayshon Boutte.
Wilfork doesn't necessarily get that vibe from player personnel head Eliot Wolf's recent remarks about being willing to trade off top draft picks, or fellow personnel chief Ryan Cowden doubling down on those remarks. But he does get that feeling from Patriots coach Vrabel. 'Me knowing Vrabel, I feel he got something up his sleeve,' Wilfork told MassLive last week. 'I feel it. There's something he got brewing.'
