The New England Patriots continued to shape the 2025 roster on Sunday by cutting ties with guard Layden Robinson. And that move hints at a bigger problem for head coach Mike Vrabel and executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf: the new brain-trust inherited a bare cupboard.
“In what could be the start of a stretch where the Pats dismiss almost all of their draft class from a year ago, they waived/injured 2024 fourth-round pick Layden Robinson,” The Athletic’s Chad Graff posted Sunday on X.
“One NFL front office source who has watched the Patriots this preseason described his view of them this way: Improving, playing hard, but thin in multiple spots beyond their starting lineup because of shaky drafts in recent years that have contributed to a roster that will require more than one year to replenish,” ESPN’s Mike Reiss wrote Sunday.
