Patriots
After a 4-13 season in 2023, the Patriots are entering another year of a rebuild after adding first-round QB Drake Maye in the draft. New England Vice President of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf denounced the idea of tanking as he thinks it wrecks the integrity of the game.
The Patriots then proceeded to take down the Bengals in their season opener on Sunday.
“I think tanking cheats the game. (We) would never get in a situation where we think that’s the right way to go,” Wolf said, via Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald. “That’s not what the NFL is all about. That’s not what pro football is all about, and that’s not what we’re gonna be about.”
