Bill Belichick told the assembled media after last Sunday’s blowout home loss to the Saints that there would be changes. The anticipation was that we would see changes with the Patriots.

The reason you did not see any changes…
After the Patriots dropped to 1-5 yesterday, the conversation around here has pivoted to next season and selling off whatever tradable pieces the Patriots currently have on the roster.

The most prominent move was elevating quarterback/wide receiver Malik Cunningham from the practice squad and signing him to a three year deal.
