Ever since Julian Edelman in 2019, none of the New England Patriots' wide receivers have hit at least 1,000 yards. Jakobi Meyers had the potential to be the next one to do, but he left for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2023 and got his thousand-yarder the next year despite a notoriously weak quarterback room.

And speaking of quarterbacks, Drake Maye desperately needs some deep threats. Unofficial GM Eliot Wolf had terribly whiffed on getting Brandon Aiyuk to ditch the San Francisco 49ers; now he might see the recently-tagged Tee Higgins spurn the sophomore in favor of remaining with Joe Burrow at the Cincinnati Bengals.

There has to be a fallback plan, and Godwin makes the most sense. He wants to be a WR1, and the Patriots can give it to him.
