The New England Patriots’ wide receiver position was a mixed bag in 2021. While Jakobi Meyers and free agency acquisition Kendrick Bourne showed some impressive chemistry with rookie quarterback Mac Jones, the performance of the rest of the group ranged from up-and-down to virtually nonexistent.
As a result, the Patriots went out and added some help: New England acquired former first-round draft pick DeVante Parker via trade from the Miami Dolphins. With Parker and versatile free agency pickup Ty Montgomery in the fold, the position group currently looks as follows:
- Jakobi Meyers: 26 | Signed through 2022
- Kendrick Bourne: 27 | Signed through 2023
- DeVante Parker: 29 | Signed through 2023
- Nelson Agholor: 29 | Signed through 2022
- N’Keal Harry: 25 | Signed through 2022
- Ty Montgomery: 29 | Signed through 2023
- Kristian Wilkerson: 25 | Signed through 2022
- Tre Nixon: 24 | Signed through 2022
- Malcolm Perry: 25 | Signed through 2022
- Matthew Slater: 37 | Signed through 2022
While the top of the depth chart appears set in stone, the Patriots remain in the market for some wide receiver help.
