The possibility of a reunion between the New England Patriots and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers may have been strengthened Wednesday, when the team released wide receivers Javon Baker and Kendrick Bourne.
The rumors linking Meyers to New England first surfaced earlier this week when Meyers reportedly requested a trade from the Las Vegas Raiders. Those rumors died down after New England kept eight wide receivers on its original 53-man roster, but resurfaced when the Patriots cut Baker and Bourne. The team’s current wide receivers are Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglass, Kayshon Boutte, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III.
