Has the Patriots roster improved since the Super Bowl?
The Patriots have undergone several changes since February.
SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA - FEBRUARY 8: Drake Maye #10 of the New England Patriots stands in a huddle with his teammates during the first quarter of the NFL Super Bowl LX football game against the Seattle Seahawks at Levi's Stadium on February 08, 2026 in Santa Clara, California. (Photo by Brooke Sutton/Getty Images) | Getty Images The New England Patriots are coming off a Super Bowl berth, but in order to get back to the big dance stasis was not an option this offseason. And so, changes were made — big, small, in between, through free agency and the draft.
The question, of course, is whether or not said change left the team in a better state heading toward the 2026 NFL season. We will revisit the question a bit later, but for now let’s assess what the turnover since February’s loss to the Seahawks looks like. Quarterback Current depth chart: Drake Maye, Tommy DeVito, Behren Morton Notable changes: Behren Morton (in), Joshua Dobbs (out) The Patriots quarterback room is all about Drake Maye, but the MVP runner-up will not be surrounded by the same crew of backups in 2026.
Joshua Dobbs, last year’s QB2 was let go in favor of Tommy DeVito, while Behren Morton was added in the seventh round of the draft. The change is, ideally, inconsequential for the team’s success in 2026, but the group nonetheless lost some experience by cutting Dobbs. Running back Current depth chart: Rhamondre Stevenson, TreVeyon Henderson, Terrell Jennings, Lan Larison, Jam Miller, Myles Montgomery Notable changes: Jam Miller (in), Myles Montgomery (in), Antonio Gibson (out) Antonio Gibson was a non-participant in the Super Bowl after having torn his ACL in the regular season, and he will not be back this year.
Including a healthy Gibson into the equation, one could view the 2026 crew as a downgrade from last season simply in terms of proven contributions. That said, the circumstances of his 2025 campaign cannot be ignored. And in that sense — through the additions of Jam Miller and Myles Montgomery — plus some expected development from sophomores TreVeyon Henderson and Lan Larison, you get a crew that looks more promising as a whole than the one that took the field in the Super Bowl.
