Patriots Turn to Roster Reset After Super Bowl Loss as Vrabel Warns Veterans

Defensive staff changes signal continuity through internal promotion.

Overview

  • Seattle beat New England 29-13 in Super Bowl LX as Drake Maye was sacked six times and rookie left tackle Will Campbell allowed heavy pressure.
  • Mike Vrabel set the offseason tone by saying the program starts over in 10 weeks and that the club will seek “better, younger, cheaper” players.
  • Despite the title-game struggles, Vrabel said Campbell will remain the starting left tackle, with reports noting he played through an MCL sprain.
  • ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported the Patriots could move on from veterans due to rising cap hits, naming Stefon Diggs, Christian Barmore and Mike Onwenu.
  • Terrell Williams shifted into a senior advisory role as linebackers coach Zak Kuhr emerged as a defensive play-calling candidate, while a viral clip captured Barmore saying “It wasn’t us.”
