"The recent hot streak from white-hot quarterback Drake Maye has put the New England Patriots in a position to be buyers at the NFL trade deadline, specifically as it pertains to getting Maye some extra help in the wide receiver room following a host of injuries. As the Patriots try to work through an injury to Stefon Diggs, their advantageous financial situation may put them in a position to possibly bring in a more expensive player."
"The Titans were reportedly going to shop wide receiver Calvin Ridley, which makes sense for a one-win team that is getting torched almost every single week. Turron Davenport, ESPN's Titans beat reporter, said that Tennessee is not currently fielding any offers for Ridley despite some reports to the contrary. Ridley may have been the best playmaker on the market at the receiver position (within reason), but he isn't going anywhere."
Drake Maye's recent hot play has positioned the New England Patriots to pursue wide receiver help at the NFL trade deadline after multiple injuries depleted the receiving room. The Patriots possess cap flexibility that could enable acquisition of a higher-priced veteran to support Maye. Tennessee is not currently fielding offers for Calvin Ridley. Ridley is in the second year of a four-year, $92 million contract and has 16 catches for 290 yards and no touchdowns, with those numbers affected by a rookie quarterback, coaching turnover, and limited supporting playmakers. Tennessee may prefer to retain Ridley as a key offensive weapon.
