Drake Maye credited Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper with guiding him through his rookie season. Henry led the team in receiving, finishing with 97 targets, 66 receptions, and 674 yards. Hooper, meanwhile, turned in his best season since 2020, recording 45 catches for 476 yards and three touchdowns. The challenge now is whether Henry and Hooper will remain part of the Patriots’ plans. According to Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine, Henry is a potential trade candidate, as moving him could clear cap space and bring in valuable draft capital. The Patriots should be looking to upgrade the weapons surrounding Drake Maye, and sending one or both veterans to another team would give them more roster flexibility and even more future draft capital, according to the report. The New England Patriots finished 4-13 last season, and have a tough decision to make ahead of the 2014 season. The team has over $100 million in cap space, and the Patriots have the resources to reshape their roster.
