When the New England Patriots' training camp begins in late July, the competition for the team's starting linebacker job will be one to keep a close eye on.
The Patriots' linebacker room consists of multiple veterans looking to either replenish their roles or earn one with a new team. Jahlani Tavai, the team's top tackler in 2024, leads the unit, with free agent signings Robert Spillane (from the Las Vegas Raiders) and Jack Gibbens (from the Tennessee Titans) providing additional experience to the position.
