The Patriots’ plan of adding a top wide receiver threat this offseason has not exactly worked out.
After coming up short in the free agency sweepstakes for Calvin Ridley last week, New England’s lone addition to their receiving corps has been former Vikings pass-catcher K.J. Osborn.
Even with $100 million in available cap space at the start of free agency, New England has focused most of its efforts on retaining players like Hunter Henry, Mike Onwenu, and Kendrick Bourne.
Those re-signings and the addition of Osborn certainly help, but New England is still searching for its first 1,000-yard receiver since Julian Edelman in 2019.
