Grading New England Patriots’ entire 2022 NFL offseason

The Patriots’ 2022 offseason likely won’t be one for the history books.

New England didn’t make any major free-agent signings, unlike in 2021, when it spent a record-setting amount in free agency. The Patriots didn’t make any earth-shattering trades, either, or at least compared to the rest of the NFL landscape.

A year after nailing their draft class to help go 10-7 and make the playoffs, it could be argued that the Patriots didn’t need to make tremendous moves this offseason. On the flip side, they struggled down the stretch, culminating in a 47-17 Wild Card Round loss to their division rival, the Buffalo Bills.
