The New England Patriots need to bolster their wide receiver group before the 2021 NFL season, and getting a healthy Julian Edelman back in the fold would be one way to accomplish that objective.

Edelman was banged up for most of the 2020 campaign and missed the final 10 games of the season after undergoing knee surgery.

The 34-year-old wide receiver still wants to play, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.
