2. WR Golden Tate (Released by New York Giants)

The team has a solid performer at wideout in 2015 first-round pick DeVante Parker, who went from a disappointment to a standout these past two seasons. In his first four NFL campaigns, he played in 53 regular-season games and caught only 163 passes for 2,217 yards and nine scores. Since 2019, he’s missed only two games and totaled 135 receptions for 1,995 yards and 13 touchdowns.

The club added Will Fuller this offseason and the talent has always been there but injuries have plagued his career. Veteran Golden Tate has been a journeyman in recent years but brings a lot of savvy and playoff experience in a career that has spanned 11 seasons and four teams.

Three-year pro Jerome Baker comes off a huge year with Brian Flores’ club, finishing second on the club with seven sacks. The former Ohio State product led the Dolphins with 111 defensive stops, to go along with two forced fumbles and three passes defensed. Veteran Kyle Van Noy was third on the team in tackles but was cut loose by the club after one season and returned to Foxborough.

Meanwhile, the team sent defensive end Shaq Lawson to Houston and got productive Benardrick McKinney in return. De’Vondre Campbell spent 2020 with the Cardinals after four seasons with Atlanta and totaled 99 tackles and two sacks. The versatile defender can line up anywhere.
