Patriots already made a new recruitment trying to improve
Belichick has faced some serious criticisms from Patriots insiders regarding his coaching in the last season. Safe to say, the 70-year-old coach will be under serious pressure to provide success in the 2023 season. Hence, they roped in former offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien to the team.

O’Brien’s recruitment would certainly be a big boost for the Patriots’ offense. Last season, QB Mac Jones looked visibly frustrated plenty of times regarding their offense. Now, all could change for the Patriots in the 2023 season, as they are trying to find their old rhythm back.
