Patriots expressed interest Rashod Bateman trade before Ravens extension, per report
Briefly

This offseason, the New England Patriots strengthened their wide receiver group by signing Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and selecting Kyle Williams in the draft. Interest in acquiring Rashod Bateman from the Baltimore Ravens was noted, with multiple teams, including the Cowboys and Packers, competing for him. Ultimately, negotiations fell through, leading to Bateman signing a three-year, $36.75 million extension with the Ravens. His potential as a starter-level X-receiver could have significantly benefited the Patriots, who continue to seek offensive enhancements amid previous investments.
The Patriots were among several teams interested in trading for Ravens' Rashod Bateman, but talks ultimately did not progress to a feasible deal.
Bateman is seen as a capable X-receiver, having had a career year, which makes him a valuable asset for teams in need of wide receiver depth.
Despite recent investments in their receiving corps, the Patriots' interest in Bateman reflects their ongoing pursuit to enhance their offensive options this offseason.
Ravens signed Bateman to a three-year, $36.75 million contract extension, which put an end to any potential trade talks with teams like the Patriots.
