Patriots just lost their shot at top WR target after shocking NFL retirement
Briefly

The Patriots still have considerable cap space, allowing potential signings of free agents such as Amari Cooper and Jadeveon Clowney. However, Keenan Allen seems less likely to join after Mike Williams' retirement points toward a return to the AFC West. The current receiver corps includes 12 players but has uncertainties, primarily concerning Stefon Diggs' status, which seems stable as he is expected to fully participate in training camp. Other than Diggs, there are concerns regarding the remaining receivers, which may result in free agent exploration.
Despite entry into late offseason, intriguing free agents remain unsigned, including receivers like Amari Cooper and pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney, as Patriots have $60 million in cap space.
Keenan Allen, who appeared a logical choice for New England, is unlikely to join due to Mike Williams' retirement, making a return to the AFC West more plausible.
The Patriots have 12 receivers on their roster, raising questions about their receiving group, particularly the availability of Stefon Diggs, though he is expected to participate fully in camp.
While Diggs seems secure as a roster lock, uncertainties regarding other receivers could lead the Patriots to seek additional free agent help for the season.
