In a dramatic overhaul, the New England Patriots will not retain any members of their 2024 team captaincy, following the release of long snapper Joe Cardona. This marks a significant shift for a franchise that has suffered consecutive seasons with at least 13 losses, the first time in their history. Under new head coach Mike Vrabel, the Patriots are set for a fresh start, with only Jabrill Peppers remaining from the previous year's captains. Peppers, once stripped of his captaincy due to off-field issues, may reclaim his role. The team has seen veteran players like David Andrews and Ja'Whaun Bentley released, and others like Jacoby Brissett not re-signed. With heavy investments in free agency totaling over $382 million, the organization aims to foster new leadership and restore their competitive edge. Fans may find it bittersweet to witness a complete departure from the previous era, emphasizing the franchise's commitment to pushing ahead.
