New England Patriots news, recapped and checked.

About The Pats Digest

The Pats Digest covers the New England Patriots: game recaps, contracts and roster moves, the business around the team, and the occasional long look back.

How we work

There is more Patriots coverage published every day than anyone has time to read. We follow the outlets that actually break and report the news — the league and the team, the national desks, and the Boston beat — and distill the day down to something you can get through over a coffee.

We link out throughout, so anything worth reading in full is a click away. Where accounts differ, we'd rather show you than pick for you.

And we have opinions. Those live under an Our take heading at the end of a story, kept apart from the reporting above it, so you always know which one you're reading.

Corrections

We'll get things wrong sometimes. When we do, tell us and we'll fix it — corrections are noted on the article with an updated date.
