"The New England Patriots made some notable moves at wide receiver this past season that have transformed their team. Stefon Diggs was added on a three-year deal and has been an incredible addition, Mack Hollins has been excellent as a deep threat, and rookie Kyle Williams has made his impact felt with two touchdowns on only five catches this year."
"The Patriots should avoid free agent Alec Pierce like the plague during the 2026 offseason Pierce is on pace for his best season yet. He's played 11 games, catching 38 balls for 769 yards and a pair of touchdowns, all while averaging 20.2 yards per catch. He would need four more catches and 56 more yards to tie his career bests in each category, and is on pace for 1,000 yards despite missing two games."
The Patriots added Stefon Diggs on a three-year deal, Mack Hollins as a deep threat, and rookie Kyle Williams, who has two touchdowns on five catches. Kayshon Boutte has broken out, and Pop Douglas ranks as PFF's 11th-highest graded wideout. Efton Chism III contributes primarily as a kick returner. The passing attack is among the league's best, but there remains interest in adding another receiver. Draft targets include Chris Brazzell and Chris Bell, while Jakobi Meyers and Jauan Jennings could hit free agency. Alec Pierce projects as a productive deep threat but would likely demand roughly $20 million per year, making him an expensive target.
