The first day of the NFL’s 2019 free agency is in the books, which means that the New England Patriots are now ready to step into the ring — at least tentatively by bringing in players for workouts. Earlier today, it was reported that the club will take a look at defensive lineman Allen Bailey and tight end Matt LaCosse. Now, it appears as if the Patriots have also set their sights on a pair of wide receivers.
According to a report by ESPN’s Field Yates, New England is hosting Bruce Ellington and Maurice Harris today — two players that could help address the reigning world champions’ shortage of wide receivers that exists at the moment: even with Phillip Dorsett getting re-signed to a one-year contract yesterday, the Patriots still have only two proven commodities at the position in him and Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman.
