Patriots End 3-Day Minicamp With July 24 Camp Ahead, Eyeing Edge and Gonzalez Deal

3 articles · Updated · Patriots.com · Jun 12

Summary

  • July 24 is the Patriots’ next key date after they wrapped mandatory minicamp and broke for summer with veterans due back for training camp.
  • Mike Vrabel leaves the spring with a roster viewed as largely settled: Drake Maye looked in command, the receiver room appears deeper, and the offensive line showed progress.
  • Edge rusher remains the clearest question because Harold Landry III is rehabbing from knee surgery and second-round pick Gabe Jacas is unsigned after an offseason procedure, even as Vrabel praised the current group.
  • Christian Gonzalez’s contract talks and Julian Hill’s season-ending injury are the other main issues before camp, with New England expected to add a tight end and monitor cornerback depth behind its top trio.
  • The broader tone around the defending AFC champions has shifted from foundational concerns to depth battles at TE2, RB3, linebacker and corner entering the July 25 public practice.
