The New England Patriots are going to the market to fill the holes they have at wide receiver.
Per NFL insider for ESPN Field Yates, the team is bringing in former Houston Texan Bruce Ellington and former Washington Redskin Maurice Harris.
As the Patriots mine for depth at WR, they are hosting both Bruce Ellington and Maurice Harris today, per source. Ellington had 23 catches in 4 games for the Lions last season, while Harris had 28 for the Redskins.
