The New England Patriots made significant moves during the 2025 free agency period, utilizing their ample salary cap space to revamp their roster. Among their notable signings are wide receiver Stefon Diggs, linebacker Harold Landry III, and cornerback Carlton Davis III. These additions aim to bolster a team that struggled in the previous season, as the Patriots enter a new era under coach Mike Vrabel.

As part of the transition, new players are being assigned jersey numbers, with both Diggs and Davis taking on high-profile roles. The franchise hopes that these strategic investments will help elevate their performance and competitiveness in the coming season, especially after a lackluster previous campaign. Diggs, who previously wore number 1 with the Texans, remains undecided about his jersey number in New England, while Landry has already claimed number 2.
