The Washington Commanders are in a position of strength entering the 2024 NFL Draft. Washington owns the second pick behind only the Chicago Bears, who are expected to select Caleb Williams at No. 1 overall. Thus, the Commanders will have a number of signal-callers there for the taking including Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye, who […]

The New England Patriots are knee-deep in their preparation for the 2024 NFL Draft, an event that will have massive implications for both the upcoming season and the franchise’s long-term future. It’s widely expected — though not guaranteed — the Patriots will select a quarterback with the No. 3 overall pick. But who’s their guy? […]

During the Patriots tenure featuring Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, New England was an attractive landing spot for external free agents. They got to play for the greatest quarterback and the greatest coach of all time, and for an organization where winning was more or less a weekly occurrence. That’s no longer the case in […]

The Patriots reportedly are losing another versatile member of their secondary. A few weeks after Jalen Mills left New England to sign a free-agent contract with the New York Giants, Myles Bryant agreed to join the Texans, as first reported by KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson. Bryant latched on with a team that overcame a mediocre defense […]

The NFL’s Competition Committee on Monday reportedly unanimously agreed to a rule change in the name of more safety for offensive players. Ja’Whaun Bentley wants to see players on the other side of the football receive similar treatment. Bentley, a New England Patriots captain in each of the last two seasons, took to social media […]

Draft experts spent the last few months praising quarterback prospects with a consensus top three of Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels. Williams has always been viewed as the top signal-caller while there’s been continuous jockeying between Maye and Daniels. The recent rise of J.J. McCarthy, however, has many believing the Michigan Man is […]

After scoring four goals to propel Boston College to a 6-2 win over Boston University, and becoming the first freshman in Boston College history to record a hat trick in the Hockey East championship, there’s no doubt that BC’s freshman Will Smith is our VA Hero of the Week proudly presented by VA Healthcare. The […]

Jerod Mayo channeled his inner Bill Belichick at Monday’s AFC coaches breakfast, bringing a fresh cup of orange juice to the table, just like his Patriots predecessor famously did during his New England tenure. “Shout out to the orange juice,” Mayo joked while pulling up a chair to talk with reporters. The moment drew laughs, […]

There are only two teams in the NHL with more points than the Bruins, and with 10 games to play, winning a loaded Atlantic Division and/or capturing the Eastern Conference’s top seed is very much in reach for Boston. You wouldn’t know it listening to head coach Jim Montgomery, though. The Bruins are sputtering a […]

Experts have highlighted the deepest positions in the 2024 NFL Draft. And fortunately for the New England Patriots, their most glaring needs align almost perfectly. It makes Patriots first-year head coach Jerod Mayo “confident” that New England can fill its biggest holes at quarterback, franchise left tackle and game-changing receiver. “Those three positions that you […]

Retaining their own players was the “most important” priority for the Patriots this offseason, and New England made sure a few of them didn’t even hit NFL free agency. Jerod Mayo and company are trying to do the same with one of their most important players whose contract is expiring. Christian Barmore is poised for […]

The New England Patriots are doing their due diligence in all areas, and that includes the wide receiver trade market. Patriots first-year head coach Jerod Mayo confirmed the organization’s interest in acquiring a receiver via trade. Mayo said New England, which badly needs a game-changing receiver, remains “open” to the idea. “One-hundred percent, we’re still […]

Troy Brown will have a new slate of duties in his fifth season on the Patriots coaching staff. Brown, who was New England’s wide receivers coach and kick returners coach the last three seasons, will be in a “skill development” role for the 2024 campaign, head coach Jerod Mayo revealed Monday morning. As ESPN’s Mike […]

Patriots fans who heard Jerod Mayo’s “burn some cash” comments and hoped it signaled the organization’s mindset entering NFL free agency surely have been left disappointed. New England retained many of its own, including a big payday for offensive lineman Mike Onwenu and a handful of lower-cost, but much-needed depth players. The Patriots also added […]

Bill Belichick is completely responsible for torpedoing Mac Jones’ progression in 2022, the ever-pivotal second season for the then-Patriots young quarterback. Belichick, faced with having to replace offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, turned to the two-headed monster of Matt Patricia and Joe Judge to lead a New England offense spearheaded by the sophomore quarterback. “I think […]

The Patriots will have a new look in the 2024 season in many more ways than one. New England will be led by a new starting quarterback in the upcoming campaign, whether it be veteran Jacoby Brissett or a rookie taken in next month’s draft. The Patriots also will work under a new coaching staff, […]

Drake Maye, one of the best quarterbacks available in this year’s NFL draft class, has garnered mixed reviews from evaluators. But what does Jerod Mayo think about the North Carolina product? Mayo on Monday morning was asked about Maye, who might be the best signal-caller available when the Patriots go on the clock at No. […]

These new Patriots will take some getting used to, with new head coach Jerod Mayo bringing a very different media approach compared to his predecessor. Bill Belichick famously kept the cards close to his vest, but it’s already clear Mayo will be more forthright when discussing the organization’s business. The new coach was, relatively speaking, […]

Mac Jones didn’t work out in New England, but his roller coaster tenure might serve as a building block for the Patriots. Jones flashed franchise quarterback potential as a rookie in the 2021 season when he earned a Pro Bowl selection and helped New England reach the playoffs. But the 25-year-old spiraled after that promising […]

The Patriots didn’t “burn cash” at the outset of NFL free agency like some expected, but the frugal spending wasn’t a directive from ownership. New England entered the offseason armed with the most salary cap space in the entire league. Instead of using the surplus of cash on a free-agent game-changer, the Patriots spread their […]

The Patriots were tasked with more than shaping a roster this NFL offseason. New England needed to establish a new culture as well. That comes with the territory when you bring in a new head coach. Jerod Mayo had big shoes to fill when he replaced Bill Belichick, a legendary coach who had a rigid […]

No Cinderella team emerged out of the East Region, leaving four juggernauts to continue their NCAA Tournament journeys in Boston. TD Garden will be the stage for the schools starting Thursday when Sweet 16 action begins. Reigning national champion and top-seeded UConn battles No. 5 San Diego State in a rematch of last year’s national […]

Shohei Ohtani was the undisputed biggest name in MLB free agency this offseason, but has since become the face of an out-of-the-blue gambling scandal that’s prompted a federal investigation. The Los Angeles Dodgers, who signed Ohtani to a record-setting 10-year, $700 million contract in December, fired Ohtani’s Japanese interpreter Ippei Mizuhara on Wednesday. Mizuhara went […]

Former New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison wished he got more screen time in “The Dynasty” documentary. But another two-time Patriots Super Bowl champion that had a part in New England’s two-decade reign ended up being glad that he was never asked to be a part of the project. “No I wasn’t (asked), I (was) […]

Triston Casas and the Boston Red Sox have undergone several back-and-forth contract extension-based chats ahead of the 2024 season. Last season, Casas emerged after an early slump of batting just .122 and striking out 27 times in Boston’s first 22 games. Those rookie woes wore off quickly and the conversation re-directed around Casas, placing the […]
