After ranking dead last in sacks last season (28), the Patriots boosted their pass rush by signing Harold Landry and K’Lavon Chaisson in free agency. Landry was the headline addition, as Mike Vrabel’s former second-round pick inked a three-year, $43.5 million contract after being released by the Titans.

Following a season in which the Patriots wide receivers ranked last in the NFL in receiving yards (1,718), the team made an effort to increase the pass catching talent around quarterback Drake Maye. The biggest investment came in the form of four-time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs, who signed a three-year deal over two weeks into free agency.
