It’s no surprise the New England Patriots were in the market for a wide receiver last season, as that oftentimes was a position of weakness for them. But they reportedly did try to land a veteran wideout last campaign.
The Patriots reportedly tried to add Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb via trade last season, per The Athletic’s Jay Glazer. The Patriots still will be in the running for a “top-flight receiver” this season Glazer said, and Cobb could be a solid addition to the roster.

New England reportedly has been linked to Odell Beckham Jr. as well, but Cobb could be a slightly more realistic option price-tag wise.
Cobb was targeted 675 times with 470 receptions, 5,524 receiving yards, 352 rushing yards and 41 touchdowns while with Green Bay.
