Quote of the Day

They do not have the infrastructure right now. I’m not even talking about players and the roster is bad. They do not have the infrastructure to be successful in the NFL in 2025, bottom line is more than one person. Jerod Mayo wasn’t good in 2024, but there’s a huge number of problems who couldn’t have done a whole lot more with what they had.
-- SI's Albert Breer, on the state of the Patriots front office following the 2024 season.
