NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS BREAKDOWN 2016

The New England Patriots start off the 2016 without Tom Brady. After a series of offseason moves, the Patriots put themselves in a position to succeed until Brady’s return and potentially putting them back in the Super Bowl after just falling short last season.

2015 record: 12-4
Key draft picks: CB Cyrus Jones, DT Vincent Valentine
Key additions: DE Chris Long, TE Martellus Bennett, OG Jonathan Cooper
Key departures: TE Scott Chandler, WR Brandon LaFell

The Patriots remained one of the top teams in the league and one of the most prolific offenses week after week. Tom Brady led the team to being the third highest scoring offense in the league by throwing 4,770 yards, 36 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. Jimmy Garoppolo will take the reins of this offense for the first four games while Brady serves his suspension for his role in Deflategate.


The Patriots offense only got better in the offseason while acquiring Jonathan Cooper from Arizona and Martellus Bennett from Chicago. These additions add extra protection to one of the best offensive lines in the league and another tall, athletic tight end to throw to. Bennett will join a group that includes the best tight end in the league in Rob Gronkowski and position receivers Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola. Read more..
