Middle of the press conference, Belichick took his usual format of playing fast and loose with the reporters, stating he was not playing a travel agent role, additionally claiming that he was actually having a serious conversation with the parties.
“It relates more to the logistics and things like that. I’m not a travel agent here,” he added.
Who are the Patriot’s wide receivers?
This year the Bills’ team replenished their receiver room by substituting their wide receiver Jakobi Meyers with JuJu Smith-Schuster during the offseason and then picked up two receivers Kayshon Boutte of LSU and Liberty’s Demario Douglas in the sixth round of the 2023 draft Kayshon Boutte of LSU and Liberty’s Demario Douglas, additionally keeping Tyquan Thornton, Kendrick Bourne, DeVante Parker, Tre Nixon, Matthew Slater, and Raleigh Webb on the roster.
Yet, the Pats seem looking for a more depth chart, resulting in the visit of DeAndre. However, if the former Cardinals veteran WR ends up being the Belichicks’ pupil, their veteran player Bourne has to face much competition though he also wants to welcome Hopkins on their squad.
“I’m a fan of D-Hop,” Bourne said. “It’d be cool. I don’t really know the gist of what’s going on, but ya he’s a great player.”
At present, the Patriots have nine wide receivers without Hopkins, also they have to be economical in rethinking DHops’ age and injury factors, so the situation can not be predicted from any angle.
