The Patriots made significant roster changes following a poor 2024 season, going 4-13. The coaching staff, including head coach Jerod Mayo and both coordinators, was replaced, with Josh McDaniels returning as offensive coordinator. Despite offensive struggles, the tight end position showcased solid performance from Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper. Competition for the TE3 role increased with the addition of UDFAs C.J. Dippre, Gee Scott, and Jack Westover. Unique candidate Brock Lampe, a fullback, was cited as a potential contender for the role, due to his fit in McDaniels' offensive scheme.
"Despite the disappointing offense the Patriots produced, the tight end room was solid. Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper both produced, and they will both be on the roster in 2025."
"There is one more candidate who is not listed as a tight end that could bump one of them off the roster, however, as suggested by Jordy McElroy of Patriots Wire."
