What re-signing Austin Hooper means for the Patriots
Briefly

The New England Patriots were active in signing free agents, notably securing tight end Austin Hooper on a one-year deal while also signing linebacker Harold Landry to a significant three-year contract. This decision to retain Hooper, deemed by experts as the team’s top free agent to re-sign, helps ensure stability in the tight end position. Although this move does not fully address the long-term needs of the Patriots in this area, it preserves key veteran talent while the team continues planning for the future, especially with the NFL draft approaching.
Signing Austin Hooper to a one-year deal solidifies the core of the tight end group for the Patriots but does not eliminate their need to address long-term strategies.
Harold Landry’s addition for three years and $43.5 million signifies the Patriots’ commitment to building a competitive defense as the NFL offseason progresses.
