The New England Patriots are on to the 2026 offseason. Mike Vrabel and company had a terrific first season, won 14 regular-season games and three playoff games before crashing down to earth. It was a disappointing finish to lose to Seattle in the Super Bowl, but even the most optimistic observers didn't expect them to win it this season anyway.
Now Vrabel turns his attention to the second year of rebuilding what was 2024’s worst NFL roster. Pieces are in place, but many more are necessary. Vrabel gave the Patriots an incredible season, but not winning a trophy when it's almost in your hands is a massive disappointment.
