Leading up to Week 1, PFR will continue to add to its annual Offseason In Review series.

Patriots, Matt Judon Not Close To Extension Agreement
Uncertainty remains with respect to Matt Judon‘s financial future. The Patriots edge rusher has been floated as one of the next players around the league to receive a lucrative new deal, but plenty of progress between team and player may need to be made for that to be possible. Judon himself recently hinted on social media that he does not expect to land an extension from New … [Read more...] about Patriots, Matt Judon Not Close To Extension Agreement
Patriots To Hold Open K Competition Between Chad Ryland, Joey Slye
The Patriots selected Chad Ryland in the fourth round of the 2023 draft as Nick Folk‘s successor. The latter was ultimately traded to the Titans in a sign of confidence for the rookie. While Folk delivered a strong season which landed him a new Tennessee contract, Ryland endured an inconsistent debut campaign. The 24-year-old connected on just 16 of 25 field goal attempts, … [Read more...] about Patriots To Hold Open K Competition Between Chad Ryland, Joey Slye
The NFL’s Longest-Tenured GMs
The NFL’s general manager ranks featured some key shakeups this offseason. One of the longest-tenured pure GMs in the game, Tom Telesco, lost his Chargers seat 11 years in. The Raiders, however, gave Telesco a second chance. He now controls the Las Vegas roster. Only Telesco and the Jaguars’ Trent Baalke reside as second-chance GMs currently. Two long-serving personnel bosses … [Read more...] about The NFL’s Longest-Tenured GMs
WR Notes: Texans, Patriots, Eagles, Cardinals
It’s easy to be excited about the Texans wide receiver corps in 2024. After Tank Dell and Nico Collins established a connection with C.J. Stroud in 2023, the organization added another major name in Stefon Diggs. With the Texans hoping to take a major step forward in 2024, the team can now boast that they’re armed with one of the best WR trios in the NFL. One of the other … [Read more...] about WR Notes: Texans, Patriots, Eagles, Cardinals
Extension Candidate: Matt Judon
Matt Judon is set to enter the final season of the four-year, $56MM contract he signed with the Patriots back in 2021. The four-time Pro Bowler has undoubtedly lived up to his contract in New England (at least through the first two seasons), but there have been conflicting reports surrounding the progress of extension talks. That’s led some pundits to wonder if 2024 could end … [Read more...] about Extension Candidate: Matt Judon
Patriots CB Alex Austin On Track For Increased Role?
Christian Gonzalez should be able to start the 2024 season at full health, something which would be a welcomed development in the Patriots’ secondary. The team’s top pick in last year’s draft is set to handle a starting role, and the same should be the case for veteran Jonathan Jones. Plenty of uncertainty is currently present elsewhere on New England’s cornerback depth chart, … [Read more...] about Patriots CB Alex Austin On Track For Increased Role?
Patriots’ Josh Uche Changes Agents
The Patriots have made it a priority to retain several players this offseason, and that includes Josh Uche. The fifth-year edge rusher could have tested the market in free agency, but instead he took a one-year deal to remain in New England in 2024. Uche had more lucrative offers waiting from outside suitors, but the 25-year-old elected to play on a prove-it contract worth a … [Read more...] about Patriots’ Josh Uche Changes Agents
Latest On Patriots’ LT Plans
Just after the draft, we took a quick first look at the Patriots’ position battle at left tackle. A month ago, we did a big of a deeper dive on the candidates likely to vie for the position. With Trent Brown now in Cincinnati, New England lacks a player with NFL experience on the blindside, and according to Ben Volin of The Boston Globe, the team may have already given up on … [Read more...] about Latest On Patriots’ LT Plans
