Pats Pulpit
The Patriots will be trying to find some talent on the free agent market after the end of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Even before the 2025 NFL Draft came to an end, teams already started turning their attention to rookie free agency. The New England Patriots are no exception, and the expectation is that they will be quite busy: the team of head coach Mike Vrabel and quasi-general manager Eliot Wolf has 10 spots on its 90-man offseason roster left to fill.
In order to fill those, they will turn to the market of undrafted players. Given their long history of finding diamonds in the rough after the end of the seventh round, the Patriots will again be an attractive destination for unselected prospects.
That is true even with a new coaching staff in place. Linebacker-turned-head coach Mike Vrabel, after all, is likely to adhere to the Bill Belichick principles of giving every player a fair shot whether they come in drafted or undrafted, as veterans or as rookies.
Regardless of what will happen, though, we will track all of the news, rumors and eventual signings right here. Welcome to our 2025 Patriots Undrafted Free Agency Tracker.
