According to NFL agent Kenny Zuckerman, former Patriots undrafted rookie Harvey Langi is returning to the team on a one-year deal. Langi spent the last two seasons with the Jets, playing in 30 games and starting six during the 2020 season, while logging a career-high 60 tackles on defense.
Langi is also a solid special teams contributor, playing 55 percent of the snaps compared to 45 percent on defense as a linebacker.
A well-rounded player, Langi is the latest new addition to a remade defensive front that features a variety of players young and old that will be competing for roles. Other free-agent linebacker additions include Kyle Van Noy, Matt Judon, Raekwon McMillan and LaRoy Reynolds, while rookies Ronnie Perkins and Cameron McGrone were also drafted. Langi s experience with the Jets and versatility will benefit him, especially given his previous stint in New England which should help him jump right back into things.
Opt-outs return: 5
Coming off a 7-9 season in which they missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008, the Patriots needed an upgrade. Their financial flexibility (and aggressiveness) helped them do it. One team official opined that the result should allow the franchise to get back to a foundational principle of competition at all spots, which wasn t the case last season.
Here is a position-by-position snapshot of the roster:
Belichick made it clear, before he was even asked, that Newton is the starting quarterback. That doesn t mean Jones, the 15th overall pick, can t make a legitimate run for the job. It just seemed to be Belichick s way of taking some pressure off him. It shouldn t take long in training camp from the standpoint of the football coming out on time and in rhythm to see if Jones has a realistic chance to be a Day 1 starter.

For the first time in a long time, there was a new team at the top of the AFC East in 2020. The Buffalo Bills successfully took their first division title in 25 seasons, as they swept the field with a perfect 6-0 mark and advanced to the AFC title game in the playoffs.
Now in 2021, Buffalo goes from being the hunter to the hunted. Although their closest pursuer was the 10-win Miami Dolphins, the Bills blew them off the field in and win-and-in game in Week 17 using mostly reserves in the second half of a 30-point beatdown.
Nevertheless, head coach Sean McDermott will be quick to remind his players that every year is different and some of Buffalo s division rivals have already gone to great lengths in free agency to close the gap between themselves and the defending AFC East champs.
