Brown. However, since there doesn't seem to be a trade in the works at the moment, New England needs to manage its roster as if it won’t be adding Brown and should pivot towards bringing in another receiver instead. Bleacher Report's Gary Davenport thinks that the Patriots should look to sign free agent receiver Deebo Samuel.
"Samuel probably isn't going to explode for over 1,400 receiving yards or average over 18 yards a catch again," Davenport wrote on Monday. "But his versatility should appeal to Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, and Samuel showed last year with the Washington Commanders that he can still be an asset to an offense. " The 30-year-old receiver began his career with the San Francisco 49ers, where he played for six seasons before being traded to the Commanders last season.
