The New England Patriots could target tight end Colby Parkinson if the Los Angeles Rams release him, as predicted by Bleacher Report. Parkinson had a productive 2025 season with career highs in catches (43), receiving yards (408), and touchdowns (8). Despite his impressive performance, financial reasons and the Rams' depth at the position may lead to his release before the beginning of the season. Should he enter free agency, the Patriots may look to fill tight end depth behind Hunter Henry and rookie Eli Raridon. However, given the recent draft investments at tight end, it is uncertain if the Patriots will prioritize Parkinson.
