After the initial roster was announced on Tuesday afternoon, there were a lot of questions surrounding the Patriots' plan for their wide receiver room. There was some thought they would keep up to seven pass catchers for Drake Maye to work with, but seeing them keep eight was shocking, even if Josh McDaniels has done that in the past.
It made it easy to guess what their next moves would be, presumably moving on from at least one of the receivers they kept. The hope among fans was that someone like Kendrick Bourne would be traded, as he had the most potential to be inquired about.
