The New England Patriots recently improved their receiving corps, but as of now, the boost is only on paper.
Bill Belchick and company added to Mac Jones’ arsenal of weapons by acquiring DeVante Parker in a trade with Miami. The Patriots sent a 2023 third-round pick to the Dolphins in exchange for the veteran wide receiver and a fifth-rounder later this month.
Parker has shown shades of being a top-flight receiver. The 2015 first-round pick hauled in 72 catches for 1,202 yards with nine touchdowns in 2019. Not only is that Parker’s best NFL season to date, but it’s also the only of his seven total in which he played a full regular-season slate.
