Patriots blockbuster trade idea lands 1,104-yard receiver from arch-rival Jets

Any and all possibilities for the New England Patriots to improve quarterback Drake Maye's supporting cast have to be aggressively pursued this spring.

Despite the promise Maye showed as a rookie, the Patriots went 4-13 for the second consecutive season in 2024, and it was largely because he had no one to block for him and no one to throw to--typically not a winning formula.

Whether it's through free agency or via trade, the Patriots' search for a new number-one receiver will dominate headlines all spring. Because often, a quarterback can only be so good if he doesn't have an elite target to throw to.
