Patriots urged to sign $80 million WR to help Drake Maye image

The New England Patriots added wide receiver Stefon Diggs this offseason to help out their second-year quarterback, Drake Maye.

This offseason for New England was all about getting Maye to the next level in 2025, and Diggs has been able to help young quarterbacks succeed.

In 2020, Diggs was traded to the Buffalo Bills, and they made their quarterback, Josh Allen, one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.

Now Diggs will try to have the same success with Allen, but another receiver could also help.

Kristopher Knox from Bleacher Report thinks the Patriots should sign former Los Anagles Chargers and Chicago Bears receiver Keenan Allen.

"Allen would be a sensible target for the New England Patriots, who are looking to develop second-year quarterback Drake Maye and who lead the NFL in remaining camp space," Knox wrote. "The Patriots did sign Stefon Diggs to be their new WR1, but they could afford to double down on seasoned veteran receivers."

Allen is coming off a four-year, $80 million contract and could be a nice option for New England if they decide to make the move.
