They also had plenty of cap space to address those needs. The Patriots signed defensive tackle\u00a0Milton Williams\u00a0to a massive four year $104 million dollar deal. New England also brought in defenders\u00a0Carlton Davis\u00a0and Robert Spillane. Offensively, the Patriots targeted the line, signing guard Wes Schweitzer and tackle Morgan Moses. Now, the Patriots have made another splash in free agency by signing this former Minnesota Vikings center.<\/p>\n<h2>Patriots Sign Recently Released Offensive Lineman<\/h2>\n<p>The New England Patriots have signed former\u00a0Minnesota Vikings\u00a0center Garrett Bradbury to a\u00a0two-year $12 million dollar deal. Minnesota released Bradbury after signing former Indianapolis Colts center Ryan Kelly to be their new starter. The Patriots now fill another hole on the\u00a0offensive line, specifically at center.<\/p>\n<h3>What this move means<\/h3>\n<p>Garrett Bradbury landing with the Patriots is a sign that New England is all in on quarterback Drake Maye. Maye is coming off of a promising rookie season in which he threw for\u00a015 touchdowns\u00a0and 2,276 yards in just ten full starts. He is also a major threat on the ground as Maye rushed for\u00a0421 yards\u00a0and two touchdowns. It was clear last season that the Patriots did not put enough help around Maye. The receivers often let him down and the Patriots offensive lineman consistently allowed pressure. With new head coach Mike Vrabel leading the charge, he wanted to bolster the offensive line to keep Maye upright in the pocket.<\/p>\n<h3>How much of a leap can we expect in New England?<\/h3>\n<p>The Patriots will almost undoubtedly be better than last year. The roster has improved on both sides of the ball and Mike Vrabel is a proven, playoff winning head coach. There is no reason not to believe Drake Maye will take a leap this year as well. Although a true number one\u00a0wide receiver\u00a0would be massive for this offense, adding another offensive lineman in Bradbury was a way bigger concern for the Patriots. Now that New England has done that, Drake Maye should have much more time to dissect the defense. New England should be a much improved team in the AFC East next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please enable cookies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17868,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
