New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has high expectations for the 2025 season.
It makes sense considering all of the changes the team has undergone throughout the offseason. The biggest change was firing Jerod Mayo and replacing him with a more experienced head coach in Mike Vrabel.
Since landing the head coaching job, Vrabel has brought in what some view as an all-star coaching staff, including multiple former head coaches and the return of Josh McDaniels as offensive coordinator. The Patriots are coming off two of their worst seasons in franchise history. Overall, they finished with an 8-26 record over the last two seasons.
But Kraft sounds convinced that the Patriots will turn things around in 2025.
“I personally am very excited. The last two years have been very tough,” Kraft admitted on Dudes on Dudes. “After my family, this team is the most important thing. The one thing that brings everybody together is the NFL. And we gotta win. I believe we’re set up this year to turn around what’s going on the last couple years.”

It’s hard not to be more optimistic about the direction of the team.
They addressed many of their weaknesses on both sides of the ball during free agency and the 2025 NFL draft. The time for talking is nearly over with training camp rapidly approaching. That’s when we’ll get a better picture of what the new-look Patriots are all about.
