The New England Patriots have been very busy during this offseason. After a dismal performance last season, which saw the Patriots miss their first Playoffs since 2008, Bill Belichick and company decided to make some moves.
The Patriots re-signed former MVP Cam Newton to a 1-year contract and have made several signings to make sure they are in the championship fold next season.
It seems like these new recruits are already hard at work. The new-look New England Patriots were seen working out and running practice drills recently, and all of them look hungry and motivated.

The Patriots and Bill Belichick had a strange season last year. For the first time in a long time, Belichick couldn’t count on Tom Brady.
Brady left the Patriots due to a contract dispute and signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What made his departure worse was the sight of him lifting the Lombardi trophy after just 1 season with Bruce Arians and Tampa Bay.

The Patriots, on the other hand, faced several struggles throughout the season. They just didn’t have the right pieces going for them. Cam Newton was brought in as the replacement for Tom Brady.
But the two play a very different brand of quarterback football, and Newton struggled to adapt to Belichick’s demands of him. But it seems like Belichick still has faith in Newton, as he asked the Patriots to re-sign him on a 1-year deal.
