Mark Daniels of MassLive reported Thursday, citing a league source, that the New England Patriots aren’t expected to pursue Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson during NFL free agency.
This might come as a disappointment to some Patriots fans, but it’s hardly a surprise. ESPN NFL writer Bill Barnwell even argued this week, while evaluating the Jackson landscape, that New England would not be a good fit for the two-time Pro Bowl selection.
“No. The Patriots have an even worse depth chart at receiver than the Ravens, given that they’ll start the offseason with DeVante Parker, Tyquan Thornton and Hunter Henry as their three established regulars,” Barnwell wrote on ESPN.
