Bill Belichick pulled off a signing that still shapes the Patriots’ future

The New England Patriots have had plenty of changes to their roster over the past few seasons, but some holdovers from the Belichick regime have made it to their third coach, and for good reason. One of those players is Hunter Henry.

Henry is the only player left on the roster from the massive 2021 free agency haul, and one of three players left from that offseason's additions, including the draft that featured Christian Barmore and Rhamondre Stevenson.

Even in their darkest days, Henry has been a reliable target for his revolving door of quarterbacks: from Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe to Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye.
