BSJ Game Report: Celtics 98, Heat 96 - Payton Pritchard leads wild comeback

Running through where the Patriots are after the first two waves of free agency, including: • How did they do? • Thoughts on Romeo Doubs, Kevin Byard and Julian Hill; • Where the team is financially, and what could happen as it relates to A.J.

Giardi: Time for the Patriots to take a tight end in the '26 Draft

Are Campbell and Jared Wilson better players than they were when they got to NE? I should hope so. But could the level of play been greater here in the postseason? Hard not to wonder, even with Campbell dealing with the knee.
