One of the biggest question marks for the New England Patriots at the moment is the wide receiver position. Not only is a sizable chunk of the team’s 2019 depth chart headed for free agency — Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsett and Cordarrelle Patterson are all set to hit the open market next month — the team also needs to look for a new position coach after Chad O’Shea left to become the Miami Dolphins’ new offensive coordinator.
One potential but ultimately unlikely option to fill O’Shea’s vacant role is now no longer available to be pursued: former Patriot Wes Welker was officially announced as the San Francisco 49ers’ new wide receivers coach yesterday.
