How long will the New England Patriots be Super Bowl contenders after their strong offseason of franchise-altering moves?
According to Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon, the Patriots’ Super Bowl window will be open for a decade or more.
”MVP runner-up Drake Maye is still only 23, and this is a young roster that just went all the way,” Gagnon said. “The veterans on board are replaceable with good drafting and smart decisions in free agency. Assuming Maye's sophomore success wasn't a fluke, they'll be in contention well into the 2030s.”
The Patriots are led by AP NFL MVP runner-up Drake Maye, who is 23-years-old. Maye is a proven 4,000-yard passer with untapped potential to lead New England for the foreseeable future.
New England traded for six-time All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown this offseason, who will also be around for the long haul, if he so chooses. Brown is 28, and Romeo Doubs, the Patriots’ marquee free agent addition, is 26. The Patriots also have a running back tandem featuring Rhamondre Stevenson, who is 28, and TreVeyon Henderson, who is 23.
The Patriots have youth up and down their offensive line, as well as their secondary, led by the 23-year-old former second-team All-Pro honoree Christian Gonzalez, though safety Kevin Byard is the eldest member of the unit at 32. Heralded rookie edge rusher Gabe Jacas is on standby to take over for Harold Landry when it is time.
Nevertheless, New England has the talent and the youth to contend for the Super Bowl for many years to come.
