The NFL is hitting its dead zone. With mandatory minicamps and OTAs in the rearview and training camp a little more than a month away, it’s the calm before the six-month storm of the season.
Aside from the late-June addition of Cam Newton in 2020, what you see with the Patriots roster at this time of the year is usually what you get until camp starts.
Which doesn’t mean they’re done. What they have right now is a rough draft. Tweaks, corrections, additions and subtractions to a retooled defense are coming. Offensively, the team is going through a coaching reboot that will remain in progress through camp.
