Sources indicate that the Patriots outmaneuvered the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Chargers this summer for the player. The Chiefs were reportedly surprised by their lack of interest, given their need for additional receiving threats. With the Bills trading for D.J. Moore, and the other teams stepping back, the Patriots secured the player to fill the void left by Stefon Diggs’ departure. This acquisition highlights the ongoing competitive in the NFL as teams assess their rosters ahead of the upcoming season.
