The supporting cast - or lack thereof - surrounding Drake Maye during his rookie campaign with the Patriots was arguably the worst in the NFL. The Patriots had a matador-like offensive line that gave Maye no support, and New England's group of receivers instilled no fear in opposing defensive coordinators. That appears to be changing this year, with the cast of characters surrounding Maye already making him one of the league's biggest winners as teams concluded roster cutdowns this week.

For much of the past week, there have been a lot of rumors surrounding the players on the Patriots most competing for a spot on the 2025 roster. The conversation was kicked into high gear on Wednesday, when reports from NFL insiders suggested that two starters, safety Kyle Dugger and linebacker Anfernee Jennings, were being dangled on the trade market.
