Kenny Britt's size brings Pats a notable contrast to their other top WRs

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- A few thoughts on the New England Patriots being close to signing free-agent wide receiver Kenny Britt to a two-year contract:

Bigger target, similar to Michael Floyd move from 2016: At 6-foot-3 and 223 pounds, Britt is a bigger target who offers a contrast to the top three players on the Patriots' wide receiver depth chart: Brandin Cooks (5-foot-10, 189 pounds), Chris Hogan (6-1, 210) and Danny Amendola (5-11, 190). Britt is more of an outside receiver and, with a larger catch radius, might give the Patriots a better option in terms of a player who can beat man coverage.
