TE Austin Hooper: Perhaps the Patriots’ best free-agent signing, Hooper caught 45 passes for 476 yards with three touchdowns. He was another player who had worked with Van Pelt, so perhaps the decision to bring him back will depend on the 2025 coaching staff.

The Patriots have several personnel decisions to make this offseason, and the roster is in need of a major overhaul on both sides of the ball.

The New England Patriots may have just fired head coach Jerod Mayo after a disappointing 2024 season, but they'll have to quickly transition to a busy offseason where they'll look to improve their roster and make the postseason again for the first time since 2020.
