Report: Patriots showing interest in former Broncos wide receiver

The New England Patriots are heavily pursuing options at receiver and linebacker this offseason — in the draft, free agency and via trade.

DaeSean Hamilton, who was released by the Denver Broncos on Tuesday, is a player the Patriots have interest in, according to Mark Daniels of the Providence Journal Journal. The 27-year-old tore his ACL in 2020 and missed the entire 2021 season.

The Patriots had interest in Hamilton ahead of the 2018 draft as he was one of the best receivers to come out of Penn State. He had a school-record 214 catches, along with 2,842 yards (second-most) and 18 touchdowns (fourth-most).
