The Patriots completely changed the way they do things and spent a ton of money in free agency after their first losing season in 20 years. Cam Newton is back as the presumptive starting quarterback, but top draft pick Mac Jones could take over if he performs well enough in training camp. The Patriots also upgraded their abysmal skill position players in the offseason by signing WR Nelson Agholor, TE Jonnu Smith, TE Hunter Henry, and WR Kendrick Bourne. All of those players are immediate upgrades and will be competing for snaps with players on last years’ roster like WR Jacobi Meyers, WR Gunner Olszewski, and WR N’Keal Harry. Their running backs weren’t the problem with their lackluster offense as Damien Harris, James White, and Sony Michel will continue their productive performances. The Patriots might sneak into the playoffs this year, but the road there might be difficult with their schedule and shaky quarterback situation.
