Patriots express mild annoyance at top draft pick Gabe Jacas' absence

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. Reports indicate Jacas' no-show may be linked to an unsigned contract or an injury. While some sources believe the team is 'mildly annoyed,' others suggest they are not overly frustrated with the situation. Jacas was expected to enhance the team's pass rush, but his participation remains uncertain as he still needs to sign a contract before taking the field. The Patriots hope to see him in action soon to assess his potential.
