The talk is if the Patriots would move Edelman, they just signed a 31-year-old slot receiver to a one-year deal.

Andrew Hawkins, yeah.

Who's 30.

31.

31-year-old.

Andrew Hawkins.

And talking about the possibility of moving Edelman,

to which they would get nothing in return,

and it makes absolutely no sense.

I mean, Hawkins is such a downgrade from what Edelman is,

to what get a fifth or, and now I'm thinking a sixth round pick.

Well, in this article, it's kind of interesting because he shines light.

Matt Dulliffe once again wrote this for CBSbostonSports.com, and it shines a light on just how many wide receivers this team has been collecting over the past several months.

As a matter of fact, they said, after the draft, the Patriot signed undrafted free agent

receivers Austin Carr and Jacob Hollister. Carr in particular is one of the more highly tattered receiver prospects amongst the undrafted class. It could be a perfect fit of New England. They also recently signed 25-year-old DeAndrew White off the practice squad. They claim former Colts wide out Devon Street off waivers on May 2nd. and they just cut street to son they just cut street that's right and those are the

just the lower level names in the receiver depth chart. The biggest most surprising move of the offseason came when the Patriots traded their first and second round picks for the Saints. Brandon Cooks. They talked about that and they said, Chris Hogan, who made plenty of big catches, Malcolm Mitchell.

Not to mention there's Danny Amandola who recently restructured his contract in order to stay with the team,

and Matthew Slater, who still counts on the roster's receiver. And all the Patriots will carry a whopping 11 receivers into training camp. By comparison, they currently carry 15 offensive

linemen. The signs don't end with the Patriots roster. It extends to their financial moves, too. Amindola restructured his deal. Grancowski also restructured, which, of course, we talked about. Grancowski did that with Gruncowski, so he'll play through injury, but continue. A new deal for Dante Hightower and extension for James White, but for Edelman, nothing. No salary bump, no extension, not so much as a stray report of a negotiation. The most important details, of course, come down to Edelman himself. The 31-year-old is entering the final season of a four-year deal he signed with the Patriots in 2014. If you were to carry any kind of trade value for the Patriots, it would be now, it would be this season. And you would to get nothing in return. He said Belichick has become known for moving on from players early rather than late, and Edelman would probably qualify as a player jettisoned while still at the height of his powers. He remains one of the most productive receivers on the team, and perhaps Tom Brady's most trusted target. They said...

All right, very good.

We get the gist of the article.

All right.
