The 2025 NFL regular season is upon us. The New England Patriots will introduce a new era in Foxborough under the guidance and tutelage of Mike Vrabel. The ownership finally made a decision that made sense in hiring Mike Vrabel as head coach and top personnel evaluator to take charge at Gillette Stadium. Everything has changed.
He took the horse by the reins and began transforming a roster lacking in playmakers into a competitive NFL team. The changes came in bunches as players who didn't fit his vision of the 2025 Patriots, including all six 2024 captains, were released for multiple reasons, ranging from being misfits in his schemes to just being underproductive or overpaid.
