Recent newsStrengths & concernsPros / cons +
Pros
- Unquestioned No. 1 WR role, should lead team in targets
- Joins top-3 scoring offense (McDaniels/Maye) coming off Super Bowl LX appearance
- Early camp reports show strong on-field chemistry with Drake Maye
- WR age-29 decline curve is soft; not expected to meaningfully erode production
Cons
- New team/new QB in 2026 adds integration uncertainty vs. established PHI chemistry
- 2025 efficiency dip (12.9 YPC career low, 7 TD) - unclear if scheme/QB-driven or trend
- Patriots red zone offense finished 20th in 2025 (57% TD rate), capping some ceiling until proven improved
- Minor camp thumb dislocation (not considered long-term)
