The New England Patriots had an excellent 2025 offseason, one that checked the box on ensuring several important positions were fixed for the long term.
Will Campbell and Jared Wilson should be long-term starters on the offensive line, and TreVeyon Henderson looks sure to be the running back for the next five years or so. In free agency, additions like Milton Williams and Robert Spillane ensured the core of the defense would be steady for the duration of their deals.
Short-term fixes, like center Garrett Bradbury, 34-year-old right tackle Morgan Moses, and even Stefon Diggs, have offered some stability in 2025, but they shouldn't be considered options for the long term come the offseason.
