Alex Van Pelt wants to get Maye more first-team reps, and says the state of the offensive line will be a factor in who starts at QB in Week 1.

Mayo says Jacoby Brissett ‘is still QB1,’ but Sunday’s final preseason game should be a deciding factor between him and rookie Drake Maye.

The linebacker was traded to the Falcons during a contract dispute with New England.

Rookie Drake Maye is making a push to win the job, but Brissett is still taking all the first-team reps.

If Drake Maye becomes the starting QB, VP of player personnel Eliot Wolf says there’s enough talent around him to allow the No. 3 overall draft pick to grow into the job.

Maye rushes for a touchdown and plays solid overall, but Philadelphia goes for two points – and gets them – after scoring a TD with 4:23 left.

The Patriots are treating this season simply as a bridge to the next, which tells you that right now team leadership believes they can’t compete.

According to reports, Judon, disgruntled in the final year of his contract, is traded by New England to Atlanta for a 2025 third-round draft pick.

New England’s defensive lineman is on the field as a spectator two weeks after being diagnosed with blood clots.

The New England linebacker might be frustrated by his $6.5 million salary this year, but on Tuesday he shined in a joint practice with the Eagles.
