If the New England Patriots want to dabble in the higher-end free agency market, they might have to explore, well, a trade instead.
After playing the 2020 (and 2019, for that matter) seasons with few receiving weapons, the cap-loaded Pats are expected to be in the hunt for some wide receivers in free agency.
Two players identified as possible targets for the Pats are Detroit Lions wideout Kenny Golladay and Chicago Bears star Allen Robinson. Both are free agents this offseason, but eligible to get the franchise tag by their current team.
And according to CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora, it’s possible both end up getting tagged this offseason.
