Things could look very different on the offensive side of the ball for the New England Patriots in the 2023 season.
Since the start of free agency, the team has been active in signing talent to fill various positions, including running back, offensive tackle, tight end and wide receiver.
It isn’t surprising considering the offense was a complete disaster last season. Most of that was due to coach Bill Belichick trying to shoehorn his former defensive coach, Matt Patricia, into a de facto offensive coordinator role. The mere thought of it is enough to infuriate even the most tranquil of Patriots fans.
But it’s a new day in New England with fresh faces on the roster. This is the time to leave the smoldering wreckage from last season in the rearview and look towards a brighter future.
If the season started today, these players would be the Patriots’ projected offensive starters.
