Perry: Patriots vets who could feel roster crunch after latest moves
Golladay played in only five games last season due to a hip injury, tallying 20 catches for 338 yards and two touchdowns. In 2019, he played in all 16 games while racking up 65 receptions for 1,190 yards and 11 TDs.
The Patriots certainly could have used an elite offensive weapon like Golladay, but they did address their deficiencies with a flurry of signings earlier in the week. Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne were signed to bring much-needed WR depth while Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry were added to improve the tight end situation.
