Show Notes
The New England Patriots tight end position is a key focus as the NFLs new league year begins, marking the start of the 2026 free agency period. Veteran Hunter Henry and exclusive rights free agent Jack Westover are set to return, but Austin Hooper hits free agency. The team, which used multi-tight end sets on just nineteen percent of plays last year, is looking to refresh the room with younger legs and better in-line blockers. Free agency offers pass-catchers like Kyle Pitts and Isaiah Likely, but few true blockers stand out. The draft also looks promising with mid-round options and undrafted rookie Brock Lampe, who could compete for fullback duties.
