Panthers WR Robby Anderson reveals how close he was to joining the Patriots in 2020

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson was one of the more coveted free agent wideouts last year following his four-year run with the New York Jets — and there was a possibility that he could have signed with the New England Patriots.

Anderson was linked with multiple teams for a multi-year free-agent deal, but in the end, he agreed to sign with the Panthers on a two-year, $20 million deal.

However, he did also receive interest from the Patriots for a possible free-agent deal in the offseason.

In speaking during a press conference ahead of the Panthers’ Week 9 home clash against the Patriots, Anderson revealed that head coach Bill Belichick made a push to sign him last year.
