Patriots have reportedly ‘kicked the tires’ on DK Metcalf trade

The Patriots are seemingly leaving no stone unturned in their efforts toward giving Drake Maye a No. 1 wide receiver to work with in 2025 and beyond.

New England is in desperate need of a proven pass-catcher, with Julian Edelman (2019) standing as the last Patriots wide receiver to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards in a single season.

The Patriots lead all NFL teams with $127 million in cap space this offseason. But even with all of that fiscal power, New England may not get to flex it with a lackluster 2025 free-agent class that is already starting to dry up.
