Revisiting the Patriots’ interest in several high-profile wide receivers

Photo by Michael Owens/ New England is in the market to add more receiving talent. Despite free agency starting to slow down, the New England Patriots remain a team to keep a close eye on.

The position remains a need for the Patriots even after they signed JuJu Smith-Schuster to a three-year contract.
