It's no secret that the New England Patriots must find wide receivers to surround young quarterback Drake Maye. The most important season for a young quarterback is their second year, and Maye isn't trying to fall into a sophomore slump.
The more offensive playmakers the Patriots surround Maye with, the better the 22-year-old quarterback will perform. On Wednesday, one of the best wide receivers in the game, DK Metcalf, requested a trade from the Seattle Seahawks.
Metcalf has been a two-time Pro Bowler, appearing in 2020 and 2023. He just completed his sixth NFL season, recording 66 receptions, 992 yards, and five touchdowns in 15 games.
