Patriots linked to Bengals $102M star by NFL writer as franchise tag decision looms

Cash is king in the NFL, and the New England Patriots have more of it to spend than anyone this offseason.

Usually, the teams with the most cap space have the least talented roster, and the Patriots are no exception. Their line play on both sides of the ball is poor, but arguably their biggest need is for a number-one wide receiver.

Rookie quarterback Drake Maye showed lots of promise in 2024, but to take his game to the next level, he'll have to have more talented players to target with his passes than Kayshon Boutte and Demario Douglas.
