A new era begins in Foxboro

As the 2020 season slowly approaches, a new beginning is blossomin' in New England.
After the Brady departure, Bill Belichick decided to leave the head coach position to his son, Steve, and he began immediately to work as the de facto GM.

Steve, after some years coaching safeties and the defense, starts as the head coach of the franchise for the first time in his career.

" ... the roster is full of young guys deserving to prove they belong, but we always feel we can improve daily, via trade, free agency, draft, we will always try to improve the overall level of our roster keeping an eye on what the market has to offer..."

says coach S.Belichick, when is asked about the first acquisition under his management, wideout Taylor Gabriel..

" .. Taylor is a very experienced wide receiver, he has a lot of speed left in his legs, and we feel like we could use some burner in our offense, giving Cam a deep threat that our wide receiving corp was laking..."

So after spending season after season working on the Patriots defense, the first move he makes is acquiring speed and playmaking ability on offense.

Gabriel, after spending his first 2 years in Cleveland, was traded to the Falcons where he played for another 2 years, scoring 7 TD's overall; he then went to Chicago to play with the Bears for a couple years, managing to score 6 TD's in 25 games overall.

Here are his first words as a Patriot :

" ... i look forward to get to know my teammates, to work with Josh ( McDaniels ) and Cam Newton, and i cannot wait to get on the field with the guys..."

Patriots fans will have one more reason to follow the preseason games now, hoping that Gabriel could be the missing piece on their young and inexperienced offense.
