It’s not a secret that the Patriots’ wide receiver room needs to improve in 2024, but one of their first attempts to strengthen the position this offseason fell short.
The Patriots were one of “five or six teams” interested in trading for Jerry Jeudy before the Broncos shipped the receiver to the Browns on Saturday, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Cleveland acquired Jeudy by giving up a fifth- and sixth-round picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.
This isn’t the first time that the Patriots have been linked to Jeudy. They were rumored to be involved in trade talks for the 2020 first-round pick last offseason when the Broncos took offers on him, with ESPN’s Jeff Legwold reporting that the Patriots were among the “most interested” teams.
