"Fortunately, that shouldn't be the case this season, with the additions of Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins in free agency, along with rookie Kyle Williams. Yet, at the same time, there is always room for another boost if the right player becomes available, which is why Patriots fans were intrigued when Jakobi Meyers requested a trade from the Raiders. The undrafted receiver spent the start of his career in New England and became a fan favorite,"
"After suffering an embarrassing loss in Week 1 on Sunday, the Patriots then seemed to get the hint that Meyers won't be getting traded anytime soon. That seemed obvious, seeing how he played against their defense, only for his response about playing for the Raiders after the game to make it crystal clear. "I just like being on the field with my guys, man. That's really my happy place.""
The Patriots' receiving corps lacked elite talent long before Tom Brady's 2020 departure, prompting doubts about Bill Belichick's offensive resources. Drake Maye's rookie season exposed those limitations as GM Eliot Wolf's trade attempt for Brandon Aiyuk failed, forcing Maye to operate with insufficient weapons. Free-agent additions Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins plus rookie Kyle Williams should bolster the group. Jakobi Meyers requested a trade from the Raiders, prompting fan interest due to his New England roots. Meyers, undrafted and formerly a Patriots fan favorite, flourished with the Raiders and signaled contentment playing with his current teammates, reducing trade likelihood.
