The New England Patriots did not need another wide receiver heading into training camp. So far this offseason, they traded for Brandin Cooks. They also signed a top undrafted rookie in Austin Carr. So why ink Andrew Hawkins to a one-year deal?
The better question might be, why not? The Patriots have nothing to lose with this signing, as they are simply getting another veteran who is hungry to win a Super Bowl. They waived Devin Street to make room for Hawkins.
The 5-foot-7, 180-pound speedster announced his decision Wednesday on Uninterrupted.
