There’s no doubt the New England Patriots have had some incredible success over the last 25 years, led by the greatest quarterback and coach of all time. Thirteen AFC Championship appearances, nine Super Bowl appearances, and six Super Bowls in the last quarter century is unheard of, and there’s no doubt that the decision making both on and off the field was a huge part of that success.
Off the field, though, there have been a few questionable moves the Patriots have made.
Speaking more specifically, the Patriots have made some very puzzling releases and trades in recent years, specifically since Tom Brady’s departure before the 2020 season.
