Another one bit the dust for the New England Patriots in their pursuit of free agent wide receiver Cooper Kupp.
The outcome of the anticipated Kupp sweepstakes sounds like a broken record at this point to fans in New England. The Patriots were in the mix with multiple teams, and despite having the money to spend, they came out of the negotiations empty-handed.
Fans can argue until they're blue in the face in regards to whether Kupp was worth a bloated contract, assuming that was the hang-up. That doesn't matter nearly as much as the fact that veteran wideout Mack Hollins has been the only upgrade made at receiver to this point.
