The New York Jets enter the season with Garrett Wilson and limited supporting receivers, leaving a clear veteran receiver need. The New England Patriots possess surplus starting-caliber pass catchers without a single standout wide receiver. Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte, Ja'Lynn Polk, and DeMario Douglas are potential trade candidates. The Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers are among teams reportedly checking the market for receiver help. Kayshon Boutte posted over 500 receiving yards on 43 catches in 2024 and could be a strong trade option. Trading a receiver could net future draft capital for the Patriots.
Once again, the Jets have a massive hole on their roster. New York is heading into the season with Garrett Wilson and not much else at receiver. Even in a run-heavy offense like this, it's crucial to have at least a couple of capable pass catchers. The Jets seem to be realizing that issue at the final buzzer of the offseason.
The Patriots could benefit from trading away one of their many wide receivers. Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte, Ja'Lynn Polk, and DeMario Douglas could all be shipped off before the start of the season. Just not to a division rival. As Russini mentioned, there are other teams looking for receiver help. The Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers are also reported to be checking the market.
