This is a list of what the Patriots have done in the 2010 offseason, it will be updated as things happen, so keep checking back here throughout the offseason.
January 14 – It is revealed that Defensive Coordinator Dean Pees will not return in 2010. Shalise Manza Young first to report.
January 29 – Adam Schefter [...]
The Providence Journal is reporting at this hour that the Patriots have fired defensive coordinator Dean Pees.
Personally, this move wasn’t all that much of a shock. The timing of it is, a little bit. It was reported that the Patriots coaches would be taking a couple of weeks off before launching into 2010. The fact [...]

I was checking the blogs last night and I came across this post on Extra Points, the Globe’s successor to Reiss’s Pieces.
I thought these words were worth re-recording, from Dean Pees:
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s the Jets or whatever, you can’t let somebody run the ball. We started [...]
There is a very interesting blog post on The Fifth Down, the New York Times Football blog, by KC Joyner. The entry is titled The Belichick Way: Still the Best.
Joyner starts out by telling us, “After reviewing the game notes from the 2008 season, I am convinced that Bill Belichick is the NFL’s version of [...]
Patriots Coach Bill Belichick appeared on ESPN Radio’s Mike and Mike in the Morning show, which could’ve been a good chance to hear Belichick outside of the local media. Many times in these occasions, Belichick opens up a little more than he does in his press conferences at Gillette Stadium.
However, on this occasion, Mike Golic [...]
…Rex Ryan sure seems fixated on and spends a lot of time talking about the Patriots coach.
Yup, the rookie New York Jets head coach is at it again. Apparently he just can’t help himself. Back in June we posted his comments made to Mike Francesa of WFAN radio in New York, among which were his [...]
Patriots Director of Player Personnel Nick Caserio spoke with the media today. Here are some of the highlights:
On progress towards a Vince Wilfork extension:
I think we are still working through some things. Whenever we get to a resolution, I am sure, hopefully we will get to that point but we are working every day. [...]
We knew that new special teams coach Scott O’Brien came here via Denver, where he coached the special teams there. We also were aware that he coached with Bill Belichick back in Cleveland, serving in the same role there.
Beyond that, I think we can safely say we didn’t know a whole lot about the guy. [...]
I thought one of the nicer moments from this morning’s activities down at Gillette Stadium involved Bill Belichick speaking about Philadelphia Eagles Defensive coordinator Jim Johnson, who lost his battle with cancer earlier this week.
When Belichick was asked for his thoughts on Johnson, he said:
Jim’s probably as good a defensive coordinator as I’ve seen in [...]
Here is the full transcript of Tom Brady’s session with the media at yesterday’s Organized Team Activities (OTA).

Q: How are you feeling? Do you want to give us an update on the progress of your knee from the last two months or so?
TB: Yeah. [...]
This offseason has been another of attrition for the coaching staff and front office of the New England Patriots. Here are some of our thoughts on what’s been happening, and what could happen:
Move: Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels leaves to become head coach of the Denver Broncos
Analysis: Obviously this is a big loss for the Patriots. [...]
It appears that the Patriots have suffered their first loss of the offseason, with the news tonight reported by Chris Mortensen of ESPN that the Denver Broncos have come to an agreement with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels to become their next head coach, replacing Mike Shanahan.
(Hey, can we get Shanahan to replace McDaniels [...]
