Patriots | NE hesitant to part with first-rounder for A.J. Brown Sat May 23, 11:03 AM

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown is someone that the New England Patriots hope that they can acquire in exchange for a second-round selection in the 2027 NFL Draft, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. However, the Eagles are still seeking a first-round draft pick in any potential trade involving Brown.

Footballguys view: The belief about a month ago was that a first-round pick from the Patriots would be what seals the deal. The Patriots may want a lower price, but they're without leverage in this situation - especially if a team like the Chiefs jumps into the mix. There are speculative reports (Albert Breer) that suggest the Chiefs might consider making a move for Brown because of the Rashee Rice situation. Stay tuned.

Patriots | Kyle Williams expects big improvement Wed May 20, 02:07 PM

New England Patriots WR Kyle Williams said he is more familiar with the offensive scheme and expects a big leap in his production as compared to his rookie season. He said he has also added some weight this offseason to help his strength.

Footballguys view: "I would say that me from now from my rookie year is going to be night and day," Williams said. Drafted with the 69th pick in the third round, Williams finished with 10 receptions, 209 yards, and three touchdowns last season. Although he showed potential, Williams wasn't always on the same page with quarterback Drake Maye. The then-rookie caught 42.9 percent (10 of 21) of his targets. Williams did showcase some intriguing abilities as a rookie. Most notably, the 5-11 receiver had three highlight-reel touchdowns where he showed an elite burst of speed. His progress this summer is worth watching.

Patriots | Kayshon Boutte not at team facility Mon May 18, 12:39 AM

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte is not at the team's facility for the offseason program, and he has been working out away from the team.

Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com notes, it's unclear why Boutte isn't there. The sixth-round pick in the 2023 draft is eligible for a new contract. He's entering the final year of his rookie deal at a base salary of $3.674 million and might be withholding services in hopes of getting a new deal. It's also fair to wonder if talk of acquiring Eagles WR A.J. Brown is a factor. Boutte has never had more than 589 receiving yards in any of his three NFL seasons. We'll continue to monitor.

Patriots | Myles Montgomery was highly sought after Mon May 18, 12:32 AM

New England Patriots RB Myles Montgomery, an undrafted rookie from UCF, received a guaranteed contract of $272,500, the richest of 12 UDFAs the teams signed. That's a reflection of the competition from other teams to ink Montgomery. He is expected to challenge for the No. 3 RB job with Terrell Jennings, Lan Larison and Jam Miller.

Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Mike Reiss, those close to the 23-year-old Montgomery say the Patriots appealed to him because of the opportunity to compete, and also the approach and success of the coaching staff. Of course, Montgomery faces a tough battle to work his way into the mix.

Patriots | Alijah Vera-Tucker makes big impression Sun May 17, 10:50 PM

New England Patriots OG Alijah Vera-Tucker (triceps) is making his way back from a torn triceps in 2025. He was signed to a three-year, $42 million deal in March, and he has made a big impressive on his teammates, particularly C Jared Wilson. 'He's an athletic freak. His feet are crazy,' Wilson said.

Patriots | Rhamondre Stevenson expected to increase production in 2026 Sat May 16, 01:15 PM

New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to increase his production in 2026, in the opinion of Matt Legros of Patriots Wire on Saturday, May 16.

Footballguys view: Stevenson will continue to work in tandem with TreVeyon Henderson, just like he did last season. In 2025, Stevenson finished the year as the no.22 fantasy back in standard-scoring leagues. Expect him to finish in a similar spot despite the speculation that he could see an increase in production.

Patriots | Stefon Diggs open to returning Sat May 16, 10:58 AM

Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs (Patriots) 'would love' to re-sign with the New England Patriots this offseason but a deal with the team could be contingent on whether the Patriots are able to complete a trade for Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown, according to Albert Breer of SI.com.

Footballguys view: Brown to the Patriots has been a thing for a minute, but no deal has yet come to fruition. Now that his signing won't impact compensatory picks, Diggs should find a new home before training camp. We'll see if that happens with the Patriots or elsewhere for the 2026 season.

Patriots | Eli Raridon signs rookie deal Sun May 10, 06:36 PM

New England Patriots third-round draft choice TE Eli Raridon signed a four-year contract with the Patriots Saturday, May 9. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Raridon's ceiling is as high as any tight end in this class, but he is a work in progress. We probably won't see him really approach his potential until at earliest his second season, but Raridon should be a priority third or fourth round pick in rookie drafts for tight end premium leagues. He's worth monitoring in all dynasty leagues, and also worth drafting in PPR dynasty leagues if the benches are long enough to accommodate multi-year projects.
