NFL Rumors: Free-Agent Receiver Allen Hurns Visiting Patriots Rival

Allen Hurns might be heading to the AFC East, but at the moment it doesn’t look like he’ll be joining the New England Patriots.

The veteran wide receiver was cut by the Dallas Cowboys earlier this week. With the Pats relatively thin at the position — coupled with what head coach Bill Belichick has said about Hurns in the past — many wondered if he would be a possible fit in Foxboro.

That still could happen, but for now, he’s reportedly visiting the Miami Dolphins.

Hurns is coming off a dislocated ankle suffered during the playoffs this past season. It was his first year in Dallas after spending the previous four campaigns with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The 27-year-old has shown some great playmaking ability over the years. None more so than in 2015, when he grabbed 64 passes for 1,031 yards and 10 touchdowns.
