It will be surprising not to see a raft of changes in New England next season as the team stumbles its way to a week 18 clash with the Jets.
The Patriots, at 4-12 will pick early in the 2024 draft and they could be in the hunt for a new quarterback.
Heck, even eight time winning Superbowl coach Bill Belichick may be shown the door.
Incumbent QB Bailey Zappe is not worried about what 2024 will bring and just wants to finish the regular season on a high.
“If that’s what they decide to do, that’s what they decide to do,” Zappe said. “I’m looking forward to competing against whoever comes in here for that job. I’m going to do the same thing I did last offseason: Get ready to be the guy and if my name’s called, I’m going to do the best thing I can to help the team win.”
The Patriots have had their worst season in 23 years and even a win will see them finish bottom of the AFC East.
