Drake Maye Worries Grow as Patriots Depth Issues Mount
The Patriots season is already giving us heartburn, and it’s only August. Greg Bedard has officially walked back his optimism, slashing the Pats’ win total from 11 to 8 because, surprise surprise, the roster is thinner than Dr. Big Mac’s patience on a juice cleanse.
This week, we’re breaking down the rise of Drake Maye panic fever spreading across New England like a bad Dunkin’ order. The truth? This team will go as far as Maye can carry them—because outside of a few hopeful sparks, the roster is flatter than Bobby after a Friday night pizza binge.
We’ll tear through the Patriots’ depth chart (spoiler: you won’t need two hands to count impact players), hit the trade block, and dive into cut-day chaos—where preseason heroes like Efton Chissom might be fighting for their NFL lives.
Plus, in Headlines with The Obvious One, Dr. Big Mac rants about the Red Sox embarrassing themselves against Baltimore, Vrabel roasting Drake Maye, and the Celtics’ ownership circus. It’s crude, it’s salty, it’s thicc—just the way you like it.

Greg Bedard lowers Pats’ projected wins from 11 → 8.

Cut Day Battles:
WR room chaos: Diggs, Douglas, Hollins, Boutte, Williams, Bourne, Polk, Baker, and preseason darling Efton Chissom.
