There’s no denying the fact that the New England Patriots need a major talent infusion at pass-catcher.
In fact, one could make a pretty compelling argument that the whole reason we’re in this Tom Brady free agency fiasco in the first place is because the team didn’t do enough to surround their quarterback with quality weapons in 2019.
I’ll be the first to come to Bill Belichick’s defense on this matter (and Robert Kraft’s as well, I guess).
It’s not the Patriots’ fault that Antonio Brown decided to implode. Sure, you can point to all the warning signs in Oakland and back in Pittsburgh, but Brown was by all reports a model Patriot as soon as he arrived in Foxborough and started working with Brady and Belichick.
