Report: Patriots looking at trade market to add veteran wide receiver

NFL free agency is a week old and the New England Patriots have yet to make a major addition to their wide receiver depth chart.

Re-signing Kendrick Bourne was a good move. Signing free agent K.J. Osborn was a strong addition, too. But the team still lacks a true No. 1 wideout that can create all sorts of problems for opposing defenses. The Patriots reportedly made a competitive offer to Calvin Ridley before he signed with the Tennessee Titans on a four-year deal worth $92 million last week.
