The New England Patriots have initiated a significant rebranding phase with the introduction of their first wave of free agent signings, marking what feels like a new era for the franchise. The press conference featured owner Robert Kraft, head coach Mike Vrabel, and lead personnel executive Eliot Wolf, who expressed a mix of sorrow in parting ways with longtime players like David Andrews and Jonathan Jones, while also conveying optimism as the team seeks to rebound from their recent struggles with a 4-13 record.

The Patriots unveiled the jersey numbers for their new additions, with Harold Landry III taking No. 2, Milton Williams No. 97, Robert Spillane No. 14, Morgan Moses No. 76, and Carlton Davis No. 7. With many gaps left to fill, the team is busy refreshing its roster to create a more competitive squad moving forward.
