The New England Patriots definitely need to make it a point to add some more weapons for quarterback Drake Maye this offseason, and while wide receiver should be their top priority, they also may want to consider bringing in another tight end.
The tight end position actually wasn't a weak spot for the Patriots in 2024, as both Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper provided solid production. However, Hooper is slated to hit free agency, and New England may need to find a replacement.
While Ryan McLaughlin of Musket Fire feels that the Pats should bring Hooper back, he also thinks they may want to pursue another tight end who had a major resurgence this past season: Washington Commanders star Zach Ertz.
