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 extension for Ravens WR Rashod Bateman was actually prompted by trade interest earlier this offseason. Fowler explains Bateman’s camp approached the Ravens about a new deal after the season was over.
