The Patriots’ wide receiver room is a bit unsettled, with Julian Edelman and Phillip Dorsett returning from last year’s group. The Patriots control Josh Gordon’s rights, as he recently signed his restricted free agent tender. However, Gordon becoming a significant contributor down the stretch and into the postseason is not a bet the Patriots should make despite his otherwise solid production (40/720/3) when available last season.
The team was linked to Adam Humphries, who signed with the Tennessee Titans despite the Patriots making a last ditch effort to pry him away from there.
