7/05/25 | Patriots Could Lose Chance to Trade for Intriguing TE. The New England Patriots have largely revamped their offensive weaponry this offseason, adding significant pieces at both running back and wide receiver. The Patriots actually have a very solid pair of tight ends in Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper, the latter of whom re-signed with New England back in March. Both players developed a strong bond with quarterback Drake Maye in 2024, so the Pats understandably wanted to maintain the duo. Atlanta Falcons star Kyle Pitts was floated as a potential target, and a lesser known name that some mentioned was Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer.

5/07/25 | Patriots Linked to Bizarre Trade for Bears Weapon. The New England Patriots are actually pretty set at tight end, as they have Hunter Henry at the top of their depth chart and re-signed Austin Hooper in free agency. It's the one position at which the Patriots actually didn't have much of an issue heading into the NFL Draft, but while New England's tight ends are solid, there is also very little doubt that the Pats lack explosiveness there. Could the Patriots be looking to swing a big trade to address it? Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/patriots/news/new-england-p... |
4/22/25 | NFL Draft Expert Highlights Favorite Prospect At Patriots Position Of Need. The New England Patriots enter the 2025 NFL draft with multiple clear holes on their roster. At the same time, it may be beneficial for the Patriots to also address their long-term needs, such as the tight end position. While New England has Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper returning to lead the depth chart, both are over 30 years old, and Hooper's contract expires at the end of the season. Although Henry signed a three-year extension in 2024, the deal does not include guaranteed money in 2026, and he will be 32 years old. Source: https://nesn.com/2025/04/nfl-draft-expert-highligh... |
4/17/25 | Patriots Connected to Compelling Notre Dame Star. In spite of a free-agent spending spree, the New England Patriots still have needs up and down their roster heading into the NFL Draft. New England has Hunter Henry as its number one option at the position, and it re-signed Austin Hooper in free agency, giving quarterback Drake Maye a couple of big, reliable targets.

3/23/25 | Patriots trade proposal gets Pro-Bowl pass catcher to give Drake Maye a star red-zone target. The New England Patriots face an interesting conundrum when it comes to one possible trade acquisition. The Pats have a loaded tight end depth chart with veterans Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper. But there's a tantalizing option out there in the form of Atlanta Falcons former first-round pick and Pro-Bowler Kyle Pitts. If he's available, Bernd Buchmasser of Pats Pulpit suggested New England should try and get him to give promising QB Drake Maye another weapon.

3/03/25 | Patriots Surprisingly Named Trade Fit for Star TE. The New England Patriots need weapons all over the field heading into the offseason, but one area in which they actually seem pretty set is at tight end. Hunter Henry developed into Drake Maye's favorite target during the quarterback's rookie campaign, and Henry is under contract through 2026. You would then think that the Patriots likely wouldn't be pursuing any big-name tight ends in the coming months; probably just wide receivers and maybe a running back.

2/21/25 | Patriots 2025 roster reset: TE situation needs addressing behind Henry. The Patriots tight end room doesn't qualify as scary. Hunter Henry's been one of the team's most productive and reliable players since Bill Belichick targeted and signed him in 2021. Austin Hooper turned out to be one of the few free-agent hits the Patriots had in 2024. The generation-long boondoggle that's going on over in the wide receiver room was offset last decade by the unearthing of (arguably) the best tight end in NFL history in 2010 (Gronk) and Josh McDaniels' usage of him.

1/28/25 | Patriots' Surprising Playmaker Lands Huge Take. The New England Patriots had the worst set of skill position players in football this past season, but they were actually decent at one position: tight end. Hunter Henry was one of Drake Maye's most dependable targets throughout the year, and the Patriots also had another tight end who was surprisingly productive: Austin Hooper. New England signed Hooper in free agency last offseason, and the veteran went on to catch 45 passes for 476 yards and three touchdowns while registering a catch rate of 76.3 percent.

The tight end position, however, was one of their few bright spots. Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper formed a solid 1-2 punch for an offense that otherwise didn't get much from its pass-catchers. Henry is under contract through 2026, but the Patriots will need to either re-sign Hooper or find a new No. 2 tight end this offseason. Source: https://www.nbcboston.com/news/sports/nfl/new-engl... |
1/26/25 | Patriots hiring another college coach to join their staff. The New England Patriots are still filling out their coaching staff under new head coach Mike Vrabel after just one year with Jerod Mayo in the role. According to MassLive's Mark Daniels, the Patriots are hiring Illinois assistant defensive backs coach Kevin Richardson II for a position on Vrabel's staff. Richardson played defensive back collegiately at Arkansas alongside Patriots defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. and tight end Hunter Henry. After his playing days were over, he began coaching at MidAmerica Nazarene in 2019. He transitioned to Northeastern State in 2020 and joined the Illinois staff in 2021.

Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz will look to revamp their roster with the pieces to get deeper into the playoffs. The Chargers need to add a tight end who can make an impact in the passing game, something they haven't had since Hunter Henry. Los Angeles fulfills that with Loveland, who reunites with Jim Harbaugh. Source: https://chargerswire.usatoday.com/2025/01/14/charg... |

1/04/25 | TE Hunter Henry explains what Patriots players need to do this offseason. The 2024 NFL season is coming to an end, as this weekend is the final week before the postseason begins, and the New England Patriots are currently tied for the worst record in the league at 3-13. This offseason, the Patriots will surely make changes to their coaching staff and the roster, but even those who stay around need to be different entering 2025, and that's not lost on veteran leaders like tight end Hunter Henry. It wouldn't be surprising to see New England turn over more than half of their roster between Week 18 and their first game in 2025. Henry was named a replacement captain after center David Andrews suffered a season-ending injury, and his play on the field (career-high 66 catches for 674 yards and two touchdowns) and leadership should put him in position to earn the title permanently next year.
