The Dolphins will release linebacker Kyle Van Noy, making him an NFL free agent. Should the Patriots try to bring him back?

Imagine if Antonio Brown’s public apology to Patriots owner Robert Kraft via Instagram on Tuesday became the catalyst for the mercurial wide receiver’s return to Foxboro, less than three months after he was granted his unceremonious release?

When the Patriots take to the turf on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, it’ll be a rematch of the last two Super Bowl winners. New England captured Super Bowl LIII in February, while the Philadelphia Eagles, of course, bested the Patriots in Super Bowl LII following the 2017 season. Tom Brady, who threw for a Super Bowl-record 505 yards in...

N’Keal Harry has not had the sort of debut season that might be expected from a first-round NFL draft choice. The wide receiver from Arizona State, picked 32nd overall by the New England Patriots in the draft, was placed on injured reserve after the final cuts because of a lower-leg injury, was activated on Nov. 2, and has been biding...

The unofficial first half of the season ended on a sour note, a 37-20 loss to the Ravens. Still, New England is 8-1, firmly in control of the division and in good shape to finish atop the conference.

Super Bowl LIV is three months from Monday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Is it too soon to start making plans if you’re a Patriots fan? In a word: no.

A trap game it wasn’t.

It took an entire regular season and some tough losses, but the Patriots defense finally likes where it is at heading into its Super Bowl matchup with the Los Angeles Rams. It hasn’t been perfect, but after a slow start to 2018 and fighting to find an identity following the departure of defensive coordinator Matt Patricia, the Patriots have found...

All is well again in Foxboro after the Patriots steamrolled the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, 38-7, to improve to 2-2 on the season.

The proverbial dress rehearsal hardly resembled the main event Friday night for the Patriots, who suffered their first loss of the preseason in a 25-14 on the road to the Carolina Panthers.

When the starters were on the field, execution was near flawless for the Patriots in a 37-20 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night at Gillette Stardium. If only Super Bowl LII had gone so smoothly…

Even if numbers occasionally lie, most of them indicate the New England Patriots are in great position to hoist a sixth Lombardi Trophy. The reasons begin in the only place they could: with Tom Brady.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s hand injury is the number one topic among Boston sports fans right now. But it’s been hard to get any information on exactly how badly he’s hurt.

Linebacker James Harrison, 39, came to Foxboro for a visit Tuesday after his surprising release from Pittsburgh over the weekend. The Patriots didn’t let him get away, signing the 15-year veteran to a one-year contract to help with a pass rush that’s been up-and-down all year long.
