The New England Patriots are obviously in the market for wide receivers to help Drake Maye, and rumor has it that they are aggressively pursuing Seattle Seahawks star D.K. Metcalf.
However, the Patriots definitely need a backup plan, as it stands to reason that Metcalf could put the kibosh on any potential New England trade by basically saying he won't re-sign with the Pats next year, which is very possible given that he has previously stated he doesn't want to play in Foxborough.
In the instance that the Patriots can't land Metcalf, there will be numerous other options they can turn to via trades, and one potential candidate is Los Angeles Rams wide out Cooper Kupp.
