THE New England Patriots have been hit with massive criticisms from new report grades, which could damage the team’s image and rebuild plans ahead of NFL free agency.
The Patriots, and even owner Robert Kraft, have been called out as NFL free agency will begin on March 12.
The New England Patriots suffered a disastrous 4-13 season in 2024 that saw Jerod Mayo fired after just one season of leading the team The Patriots and owner Robert Kraft have been given awful grades in the NFLPA’s annual report card surveyAPNew England is coming off back-to-back 4-13 seasons, and they, along with 31 other teams, have been graded in the NFLPA’s annual report card survey.
The important categories include team rankings overall, head coaches, team owners, team travel, and locker rooms.
After finishing a dismal 29th last year, the Patriots have only graded worse.
Kraft’s New England squad has been ranked No. 31 in the overall team rankings.
They received two F grades for weight room and team travel.
The Pats’ highest ranking was 18th in the treatment of families.
Their best rank was a B+ for head coach Jerod Mayo, but he was fired the same day the 2024 campaign ended.
The rankings didn’t get much better for the six-time Super Bowl champion owner Kraft.
The 83-year-old was ranked No. 28 out of 32 owners in terms of perceived willingness to invest in facilities.
Kraft was also ranked 30th in both contributing to a positive culture and commitment to building a competitive team.
The rankings come after New England made very few impactful additions to their team in the 2024 free agency.
This season, however, new Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel revealed Wednesday that he expects the team to be “aggressive” in free agency.
New England has a whopping $123 million available in free agency.
They have a chance to provide offensive line, as well as wide receiver, help for the soon-to-be second-year quarterback Drake Maye.
Maye is coming off a rollercoaster season that saw him throw for 2,276 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 13 appearances with 12 starts.
The Patriots were 3-9 under Maye.
The NFLPA’s annual report card grades could hurt the Patriots’ rebuild plans.
They will hope to make the playoffs in the upcoming season for the first time since 2020.
