The New England Patriots entered their first offseason under head coach Mike Vrabel with two big goals in mind. Besides wanting to improve the culture in the room after what was a challenging season in that respect, the club also aimed at improving the supporting cast around starting quarterback Drake Maye.
A significant portion of the team’s offseason acquisitions, whether through free agency or the draft, fall into both those categories. One of the highest-profile of those is veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who joined the team on a three-year free agency deal after previous stints with the Minnesota Vikings, Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans.
