Patriots Attempted to Land Ravens' Rashod Bateman t This NFL Offseason originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New England Patriots have been a hot topic of conversation surrounding wide receivers this offseason, popping up as a team often looking to add a weapon through free agency or trade talks.

Signing Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins in free agency, and selecting Kyle Williams in the third round of the draft, the New England Patriots reshaped their wide receiver group this offseason. They also expressed interest in making another move, though: trading for Baltimore Ravens wideout Rashod Bateman.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that the Cowboys, Packers, and Patriots were among the teams interested in acquiring Rashod Bateman before Baltimore signed him to a three-year, $36 million extension.
