The New England Patriots can totally be the No. 7 seed in 2025.
The roster in New England last year was bad. The current one won’t win a Super Bowl in the first season under Mike Vrabel, but it’s vastly improved after a productive offseason that should spark major change.
It’s a totally new look under Vrabel. With Tuesday’s release of long-snapper Joe Cardona, the Patriots do not currently have a Super Bowl champion on the roster. While there’s shades of New England’s championship history with Vrabel, it’s a totally clean slate on the roster than can build a new culture from the ground floor.
