All the preliminaries for the 2025 New England Patriots season are nearly completed. Mike Vrabel is building a new team and a new culture. A lot of new players have arrived, and former players have left. By August 26, Vrabel will have pared down his roster to 53 players, most of whom will be on the roster when they play their first game on September 7.
Vrabel has had an auspicious debut offseason as the Patriots' top decision-maker. The disparity between the dreadful 2024 offseason and this one is massive. Vrabel is an experienced NFL Head Coach and personnel evaluator, and it showed in 2025 in no uncertain terms.
