While the Patriots reportedly had grand plans to add at WR this offseason, the team has been relatively quiet when it comes to the position. That could soon change, as the team is hosting one of the biggest names remaining on the market. According to Chad Graff of The Athletic, the Patriots are hosting free agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs on a visit.
After losing out on the Calvin Ridley sweepstakes last offseason, the Patriots seemed motivated to provide Drake Mayer with a notable pass catcher for the 2025 campaign. The team was a known suitor for Tee Higgins before the WR ended up sticking with the Bengals, and despite the organization offering Chris Godwin a lucrative contract, the veteran took less money to stick with the Buccaneers.
So, while the Patriots have made headlines with a number of moves on the defensive side of the ball, the team has been relatively quiet on offense, at least when it comes to the skills positions. The team’s most notable signing was Mack Hollins, who was added to a depth chart that still includes the likes of Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, DeMario Douglas, Ja’Lynn Polk, and Javon Baker. None of those options have proven themselves as a definitive WR1, so it’s not a huge surprise that the Patriots remain in the market for receiver help.
