'Coach on the field' Robert Spillane taking ownership of new-look Patriots defense
Briefly

The New England Patriots are preparing for a different defensive lineup in 2025, driven by new coaching staff and strategic player acquisitions. The offseason's main objective is to establish cohesion within the defense, under the guidance of inside linebackers coach Zak Kuhr. Veteran linebacker Robert Spillane, recently signed on a three-year, $33 million deal, has emerged as a key player, taking on leadership responsibilities following Ja'Whaun Bentley's release. Both the coaching staff and teammates recognize Spillane’s influence, highlighting his dual role as a player and mentor during this transitional period for the team.
Robert Spillane's phenomenal, he's like another coach on the field, seriously. He's helping guys just as much as I am, and he's made my job a lot easier.
Hit the talk button, talk to Spillane. He handles the rest.
Spill's a lot of fun. He's so wise, he's funny, he's intense, and he's my guy.
The offseason workout program has one primary goal: get everybody on the same page, and work from there.
