New England Patriots legend Troy Brown suggests that the team might consider keeping seven wide receivers this season. The recent addition of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs has created competition among the current roster, which includes DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams, Efton Chism III, and Kayshon Boutte. Brown noted that if all receivers can perform well in training camp, it may lead to a competitive situation. With training camp approaching, the Patriots could face tough decisions about roster cuts, potentially leading to one of their most competitive receiver rooms in years.
