After a quiet trade deadline in Foxborough, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel preached patience amid a successful start to the 2025 campaign.
“We’re trying to build a program. … I think part of building a program is finding ways to win, building a team, and figuring out where the pieces are that we can continue to add that are going to make sense,” Vrabel said when asked of his team’s unwillingness to parlay draft capital into win-now assets.
Even if Vrabel’s sentiment stands in the first season of what was viewed as a multi-year rebuild, the circumstances have certainly changed in short order.
