The 2025 NFL preseason is in the books. Now all that's left is to finalize rosters and get ready for some football. The New England Patriots and all other NFL teams have to get their rosters down to 53 men by August 26. Not all these players will necessarily stick, but most will.
New Head Coach Mike Vrabel will pare his squad down to 53 and begin to get them ready for the September 7 showdown with another new head coach of his team, Pete Carroll, and the Las Vegas Raiders at Gillette Stadium.
Vrabel has conducted a massive overhaul of one of the NFL's worst rosters and, by all accounts, has made it NFL-ready.
