The New England Patriots have a new head coach and new coordinators. Now, they just need new players.
The Patriots had one of the NFL's least talented rosters in 2024, particularly at wide receiver, where their top pass-catcher, DeMario Douglas, ranked 61st in the NFL with 621 yards. So, while the pairing of talented quarterback Drake Maye and veteran OC Josh McDaniels has tantalizing potential, New England still needs to make massive upgrades at the receiver position (among others) to set Maye up for success.
The good news is the Patriots have a league-leading $120 million in cap space and a wealth of draft assets that they can use to pursue a wide receiver via free agency and the trade market.
