The New England Patriots will look very different next season, with major changes across the coaching staff and roster. New head coach Mike Vrabel has added veteran experience around rookie quarterback Drake Maye, and many of the team’s offseason additions now rank among the oldest active players on the roster.
Top 10 Oldest Active Players on the New England Patriots
1) Morgan Moses, Offensive Tackle | Age 34
The newly acquired tackle immediately becomes the oldest player on the team. Morgan Moses will be tasked with protecting the blind side of second-year quarterback Maye — who was just 11 years old when Moses entered the NFL in 2014.
2) Wes Schweitzer, Guard | Age 31
Like Moses, versatile offensive lineman Wes Schweitzer joins the Patriots from the New York Jets this offseason as a free agent.
3) Stefon Diggs, Wide Receiver | Age 31
Stefon Diggs is coming off a torn ACL, but at his peak, he was one of the best wide receivers in the league. New England acquired him as a marquee offensive weapon to support Maye’s development.
4) Mack Hollins, Wide Receiver | Age 31
Mack Hollins joins New England from their AFC East rival, the Buffalo Bills, bringing 2,069 career receiving yards over eight seasons into the mix.

5) Joshua Dobbs, Quarterback | Age 30
Joshua Dobbs was signed to serve as the Patriots’ backup QB. His most productive season came in 2023, when he threw for 2,464 yards while splitting time between the Arizona Cardinals and the Minnesota Vikings.
6) Austin Hooper, Tight End | Age 30
Austin Hooper was a reliable presence for New England last season, hauling in 45 receptions for 476 yards and three touchdowns after joining the Patriots as a free agent.
7) Hunter Henry, Tight End | Age 30
Hunter Henry has been with the team since 2021 and has totaled 2,205 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns in four seasons with New England.
8) Garrett Bradbury, Center | Age 29
Garrett Bradbury signed a two-year deal with the Patriots this offseason and is expected to take over the starting center role following the retirement of longtime veteran David Andrews.
9) Kendrick Bourne, Wide Receiver | Age 29
Kendrick Bourne joined the Patriots in 2021 and had his most productive campaign that year, racking up 800 receiving yards and five touchdowns. With the additions of Diggs and Hollins, however, Bourne’s role could shift heading into 2025.
10) Jabrill Peppers, Safety | Age 29
Jabrill Peppers, a former first-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in the 2017 NFL Draft, joined New England in 2022. Known for his physical play and special-teams impact, he remains a core piece of the Patriots’ secondary.
