The Patriots started their offseason program this week and that gave a lot of the team’s players their first chance to work with head coach Mike Vrabel.
One exception is edge rusher Harold Landry. Landry was drafted by the Titans in the second round in 2018 and played for Vrabel in Tennessee through the coach’s departure after the 2023 season.
Landry said on Tuesday that one main reason he signed with the Patriots because Vrabel and his staff did “a great job of putting me in positions to go out and be productive.

New York Jets general manager Darren Mougey made an appearance at the 2025 NFL owners meetings in Florida.
While there, Mougey had his influence on those talks and chatted with the media on all-things Jets.
With that, here are six takeaways from Mougey’s interview at the 2025 NFL owners meetings:
Waiting for extensions
Will the Jets extend Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson? It’s certainly not off the table, Mougey said. The Jets GM wants to have those talks, but not until after the 2025 NFL draft.
Many in New York want that to happen.
Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane made an appearance at the 2025 NFL owners meetings in Florida.
While there, Beane had his influence on those talks and chatted with the media on all-things Bills.
With that, here are six takeaways from Beane’s interview at the 2025 NFL owners meetings:
The James Cook topic
The No. 1 topic of discussion to come out of the owners meetings (as it relates to the Bills) is the James Cook chats. The two-time Pro Bowl running back wants a new contract and it hasn’t happened.

The 2025 Masters Tournament has arrived. Here is who the SB Nation team is picking to win at Augusta National.
The greatest tournament in the world is now upon us.
Ninety-six of the best players in the world have descended upon Augusta National for the 89th playing of The Masters Tournament, the first major of the 2025 season. It’s also a reunion of sorts, as 12 players from LIV Golf will tee it up alongside the best from the PGA Tour this week.
The New Orleans Saints haven’t traded back in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft in nearly two decades. Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport highlighted seven teams in the top 10 who should consider trading down, and the Saints surprisingly didn’t make the list. Or maybe this is an acknowledgement of the team’s trend to almost never trade down. Mickey Loomis is known for going up, not down, the board.
The Saints, Chicago Bears and Tennessee Titans are the only teams who didn’t make the cut. It’s surprising to see New Orleans not be included.
Alabama is not exactly the kind of college football program to which one goes looking to be a savior. That certainly wasn’t the case when Jalen Milroe arrived in Tuscaloosa with the Crimson Tide still in the midst of Nick Saban’s historic coaching run.
That’s not necessarily going to be the case in the NFL, depending on where Milroe ends up being drafted at the end of this month. If that place is Cleveland, then there will be a level of those expectations placed on him, if not in 2025 than as early as 2026.
Do you know exactly what the Carolina Panthers need?
Yes, another Gamecock.
With the 2025 NFL draft a little over a few weeks away, Pro Football Focus analyst Mason Cameron recently named the best Day 2 fits for each team. When it comes to the Panthers, he settles on University of South Carolina edge defender Kyle Kennard.
Cameron writes:
Carolina ranked dead last in PFF pass-rush grade (51.6) in 2024, highlighting the team’s clear need for a dynamic pass rusher.
The Commanders are looking to bolster their defense this offseason, and recently hosted a meeting with a top safety in the draft that would certainly help the secondary.
Jonas Sanker tells me that he visited Washington on Tuesday for a meeting, not a workout with the team. This isn’t the first meeting Sanker has had with the Commanders, as he also met with the team at the Senior Bowl and the NFL combine.
The former Virginia Cavalier is a versatile defender who can line up in the box, out deep, and even as a slot corner.

“The Commanders had a really great culture last year.”
That was former Washington Commander defensive tackle Jonathan Allen, who acknowledged to Chris Long on the “Green Light” podcast that GM Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn had made significant changes to the team in their first season.
The Commanders released Allen ahead of free agency in a cost-cutting move, and he immediately landed a three-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings.
Allen said Dan Quinn’s new culture “was the hardest part about leaving” the team.
