The New England Patriots are in the midst of a deep rebuild. Years of contending for the Super Bowl and multiple ill-advised moves have led them to this point. While they struggled for most of last season, there were some signs that things would be better in the future.
That being said… that future might be quite a long way off yet. An NFL front office source talked to Mike Reiss of ESPN about the state of the Patriots so far. Said source pointed out that while the team is playing hard right now, their bad decisions from the last few years have taken a toll on their depth in certain areas.
