Right now, its Edelman... you could tack Braxton Berrios on there, Matthew Slater is a WR in name only...


Josh Gordon is trying to land a role in the sequel to Leaving Las Vegas, is he a free agent? think so, so I'm not sure if we have any rights to him at this time



Patterson, Hogan and Dorsett are free agents... and apparently we have two other free agents names Cody Hollister and Riley McCarron, which was news to me...


Bring back the free agents? I like Patterson, even though he's not great... its fun watching him on those jet sweeps and the occasional reverse... Hogan, i could live without him... Dorsett? fine if he stays, fine if he goes...


The Free agent crop looks like a rather wilted group... Who do the Pats bring in? So how to fill this void?
 
Patriots reportedly almost traded for WR Randall Cobb last season

By Matt Dolloff, 985TheSportsHub.com

The Patriots have to be active at the wide receiver position this offseason. With NFL free agency on the horizon, they'll have no shortage of options. Perhaps they make a trade.

They almost made one with the Green Bay Packers last season, according to prominent NFL insider Jay Glazer. In his new offseason mailbag for The Athletic, he says the Pats tried to trade for receiver Randall Cobb in their quest to add legit talent to their receiver corps.

The Patriots were trying to trade for a receiver last year, before the trade deadline and in the offseason. Actually, here’s a name that people don’t know about: they even called trying to trade for Randall Cobb at one point. I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility to think that the Patriots will still be in the market for a top-flight receiver.
It's unclear when the Patriots called the Packers, but it was ostensibly before they ultimately got Josh Gordon from the Browns as a kind of "last resort" move. Bill Belichick won't need to call Green Bay this time, as Cobb is set to hit the open market when NFL free agency opens next Wednesday, March 13 at 4 p.m.

Cobb is among the best free-agent fits for the Patriots as a receiver who can play the "X" spot on the outside. Other notable options for perimeter wideouts include John Brown, Devin Funchess, and Michael Crabtree. The Patriots likely need to replace a trio of their own free agents set to hit the open market in Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsett, and Cordarrelle Patterson. Hogan and Dorsett reportedly have talked to the Patriots about a potential return.

It's likely that the Patriots will check on Cobb once again now that he'll be free to talk to anyone.

I believe Josh Gordon is still under contract to the Pats.

That is one ugly crop of free agents. Even the wr's in the draft look less than stellar.
 
Former Bears first-round pick Kevin White looks like a classic Patriots reclamation project

The first-round bust becomes a free agent next week.

No position on the New England Patriots’ roster might see at much most turnover during the 2019 offseason as wide receiver. With Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsett and Cordarrelle Patterson all headed towards unrestricted free agency, and with the future of suspended Josh Gordon still in doubt, the world champions might drastically overhaul their receiving corps outside of Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman.

Sounds familiar? Last offseason was a pretty similar experience for the Patriots. The team parted ways with its top two receivers from a year prior — Brandin Cooks and Danny Amendola — and brought in a boatload of players trying to fill their roles. One thing New England was not afraid to do during this process was picking up highly drafted players that for one reason or another flamed out with their previous teams.

This was no new approach for the team, however: from Shea McClellin to Barkevious Mingo to the aforementioned Dorsett and Patterson, the Patriots have never shied away from giving first-rounders a second shot when their stock was at its lowest. You should therefore not be surprised to see New England go a similar route this offseason in order to rebuild the wide receiver group surrounding quarterback Tom Brady.

One option might be Cincinnati Bengals wideout John Ross, who is reportedly on the trade market. If the Patriots want to explore another avenue and not enter trade negotiations for a former top-10 pick, the seventh overall selection of the 2015 draft will also become available next week: Kevin White, who is set to hit unrestricted free agency on March 13 after four disappointing seasons with the Chicago Bears.

White was never able to live up to the expectations that naturally come with being a high first-round draft choice. The main reason for that were injuries: he sat out his entire 2015 rookie season due to a fractured shin, while fibula and shoulder injuries limited him to only five games over the next two years. White was finally fully healthy in 2018, but limited to a mere 170 offensive snaps in nine games under a new coaching staff.

All in all, the West Virginia product ended his four-year tenure in Chicago with only 14 in-game appearances and 25 catches for 285 yards — one of which a last-second Hail Mary during last regular season’s game against the Patriots that came up one yard short of the goal line. Now, the team against which he made the 54-yard catch (it helped him set a new career-high with 66 yards in one game) could very much look his way again.


Despite White’s status as a former first-round selection, his market will likely develop slowly: too little are his contributions in the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league that is the NFL. Consequently, the Patriots might be able to pick him up for a relatively modest price — similar to how they acquired Kenny Britt or Jordan Matthews in late 2017 and early 2018, respectively. And while neither ultimately made an impact, their upside was worth bringing them on board.

White would pretty much be the same. His injury history and lack of production are worrisome, of course, but his talent cannot be denied: at 6’3, 215 lbs he has the size to serve at least as a red zone target, with his 4.35 40-yard dash making him an option as a deep-threat X-receiver in the mold of Josh Gordon as well. His build and speed alone are not the only traits that made him a first-round pick four years ago, however.

The 26-year old also displayed great hands and physicality in college, to find consistent success when asked to go up against press-man coverage. And while he would need to show an ability to get on the same page with Tom Brady, his athletic skill set in combination with what projects to be a low price for a much-needed change of scenery could make White as intriguing a free agent wide receiver as there is this year.

No, he should not be counted on to suddenly turn his career around in a new environment and become the number one wide receiver he was drafted to be. But the same had to be said about Dorsett, Patterson and to a certain degree Gordon as well, and all three of them carved out roles in New England. As a complementary piece and a potential high-upside upgrade over a player like Chris Hogan, White could have value as the Patriots’ latest reclamation project.

No current superstars but all are worthy of WR2 or WR3 players.

Any of them would do nicely imo

White (6'3", 4.34 40) had a broken tibia his first year, a broken fibula his 2nd year and a broken scapula his 3rd year. I wouldn't consider him unless he went through a bone density study but that's a simple thing. After being paid $15M over 4 years to do nothing, has he lost his fire?

just kidding...worst idea in the history of wide recievers.
 
Miami Dolphins expected to release DeVante Parker by next week

As expected, the Miami Dolphins are ready to move on from WR DeVante Parker, and all indications are that he will be released ahead of the free agency period.
Last season, the Miami Dolphins picked up their fifth-year option on WR DeVante Parker. With the ability to rescind that at anytime, that was not an indication that they were ready to hold on to their former 2015 first round pick. To no one’s surprise, the Dolphins are poised to move on from Parker, and he is expected to be released within the week ahead of March 13th when free agency officially begins.

In a fifth year with the Dolphins, Parker would be due $9.4 million in 2019. According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, that money would become fully guaranteed on March 13th, the first day of the new league year. Jackson made mention of this, among other contract stipulations that the Dolphins have in his latest article.

There are reportedly teams that are interested in Parker, and Miami is still holding out hope for a potential trade. It’s unclear what kind of compensation they could expect to get in return. Ahead of last season’s trade deadline, the Dolphins were open to trading Parker, and asking for a third round pick. That came off as a pretty steep asking price, and Miami could consider themselves very lucky if they were able to net a Day 3 selection ahead of next Wednesday.

Parker never panned out here in South Florida after the Dolphins took him with the 14th overall selection in 2015. He’s totaled just nine touchdowns in his four-year career, and never surpassed more than 744 yards in any given season. More importantly, Parker never seemed to be able to keep himself healthy, and has not yet completed a full 16 game season as a result.

Some among the NFL still believe that with the right team, Parker could be a terrific player. He possesses the size and the athletic ability to do so. Parker showcased some of that ability in a Thursday night game against Houston this past October, finishing with six receptions for 134 yards. Parker had a few of those types of games in his career at Miami, but the problem has always been his consistency. It’s clear that a change of scenery could be good for him, and definitely for the Dolphins organization.

Do The Miami Dolphins Look At Wide Receiver At Pick 13?
Miami Dolphins Want Minkah Fitzpatrick To Play Safety Full-Time
Miami will have many questions to answer regarding their wide receivers this off-season. It remains unclear as to whether or not they will bring back Danny Amendola. There is the possibility that the team may even look to trade Kenny Stills. With Miami looking to rebuild, these are the types of decisions that need to be addressed.
 
The list of wide receivers drafted in the 1st round in the past four drafts is kind of horrifying. Frankly I'm not surprised since the only 1 I had a 1st round grade on was Mike Williams. 2nd round on Cooper, Agholor and Ridley and 3rd round on Parker.

I never liked the...get guy who has injuries all the time to come to the pats because that will magically go away. It doesn't. Fact is, we might need to start looking at some better talent at wideout because Brady is not going to play forever, and I am not sure a rookie is going to be able to make medium talent receivers work like we are used to. At some point we might need some talent at that position.
 
would be nice if Gordon could get back from the edge, be allowed back from the perm suspension... he brought a nice dimension to the team.
 
Edelman, Dorsett, Chris Conley, Kevin White, Braxton Berrios. Maybe Amendola if he feels liks playing.

That is a quick fucking group. Height with Conley and White as well.
 
Edelman. Gordon reinstated. DA returns. Golden Tate wants a ring. Berrios. And a draftee(favs in order Butler, Isabella, Samuel, Whiteside)
 
Add danny amendola to the list of free agent wr's
