One of the perennial needs for the New England Patriots is a viable outside receiver that legitimately scares opposing defenses. Rookie cornerback Jack Jones offered up a solution after co-signing on the Patriots going out and getting five-time Pro Bowl wideout Keenan Allen.
Per The Athletic’s Daniel Popper, the Los Angeles Chargers could save $14.8 million by outright cutting Allen from the team. They already have Mike Williams under contract, and they could be looking to use the extra money to fill other positions on the roster.
Allen, 30, would be an instant upgrade at the receiver position for the Patriots.
