9 Patriots wide receiver targets to know
Boston Herald • • sports
Key Points:
- The New England Patriots increased their focus on adding offensive weapons after releasing wide receiver Stefon Diggs, aiming to strengthen their wide receiver position which currently lacks a clear No. 1 option.
- Top free-agent wide receiver targets include Alec Pierce, a young deep-threat with a projected $24 million annual contract, and Mike Evans, a veteran with size and experience who could be pursued if he remains available.
- Other notable potential additions are Rashid Shaheed and Romeo Doubs, both young receivers with solid production, as well as mid-level veterans Christian Kirk and Jalen Nailor who offer reliable receiving skills at lower contract costs.
- The Patriots also have several bargain-bin options such as Jalen Tolbert, Tim Patrick, and Treylon Bur
