The New England Patriots are reportedly frustrated with Gabe Jacas, their second-round pick from the 2026 NFL Draft, due to his absence from organized team activities and mandatory minicamp.

While some sources believe the team is 'mildly annoyed,' others suggest they are not overly frustrated with the situation.
