Pete Prisco of CBSsports.com recently previewed the seasons of each of the NFL's teams, and projected the Patriots go 16-0 in the regular season.
He believes Brandon Lloyd will make an offense that already contained some of the league's best players at their positions better, a thought he considers frightening for the rest of the league.

According to Mike Rodak of ESPNBoston.com, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski wasn’t included on the active/PUP list to begin training camp. This likely means that he’s been medically cleared.
This is certainly great news for the Patriots and their offense. Even with the additions they’ve made this offseason, Gronk will still be one of Tom Brady’s go to guys.
