The New England Patriots desperately need to put some weapons around quarterback Drake Maye this offseason, whether that means adding some pieces via free agenc

One of the few Super Bowl champions left on the Patriots’ roster wants to return in 2025 — and Drake Maye is a “big reason” why.

Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye has returned to the game after being evaluated for a head injury following a blow to the helmet in the first quarter of New England’s matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Patriots entered Week 18 with a 4-12 record, tied with the Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, and New York Giants. However, they hold a league-highest 78% chance at landing the pick thanks to their lower strength of schedule, giving them the tiebreaker.

Although Alex Van Pelt is still technically on the Patriots payroll, as reports have not revealed him to be let go (yet), a few names have come into play that fans would like to see take over as the playcaller.
