The New England Patriots made sweeping changes to their organization in 2025 for the second consecutive offseason.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft acknowledged those changes were necessary as New England looks to become a contender again.
"The last two years were the worst years of my 31 years of ownership," Kraft said in a discussion with ESPN's Adam Schefter at Fanatics Fest over the weekend. "We have to change that."
The Patriots posted a combined 8-26 record over the last two seasons and have changed coaches after each campaign. A 4-13 finish to the 2023 season cost franchise legend Bill Belichick his job, while Jerod Mayo was made a one-and-done coach after posting the same mark in 2024.
Kraft believes new coach Mike Vrabel will be able to achieve better results and stabilize the franchise. He credited Vrabel as being "really connected with the players" and "doing great work" over his first six months with the team.
