The New England Patriots defense is on the upswing. The hiring of Mike Vrabel as the team’s head coach likely helps the defense become a hungry unit, and the fact that the Patriots spent more money than any other team in free agency, means that fresh bodies are coming in.
The signings of Milton Williams, Harold Landry III, Carlton Davis III, and Robert Spillane will be sure to improve a starting unit that allowed 24.5 points and 343.3 yards per game — both bottom-half of the league marks—in 2024. But business for the Patriots may not yet be concluded.
