Patriots have reportedly ‘looked into’ trading for a top receiver

Entering this offseason with over $100 million in cap space, the Patriots were in prime position to inject plenty of talent into a woeful offense that averaged just 13.9 points per game last season.

But New England’s efforts to add more playmakers for the 2024 campaign haven’t yielded strong returns — at least through the first week-plus of free agency.

After coming up short in the free agency sweepstakes for Calvin Ridley last week, New England’s lone addition to their receiving corps has been former Vikings pass-catcher K.J. Osborn.

The Patriots still sit atop the NFL with $50 million in remaining cap space this offseason (per Over The Cap), but their options at receiver are dwindling out on the open market.
