He is clearly not the same elite pass-catcher he once was, but it couldn&#8217;t hurt the Pats to add him for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Considering how barren the Patriots&#8217; receiving corps is, the 31-year-old may actually stand a legitimate chance of getting some targets from Maye, who does not exactly have a wide variety of options at his disposal.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, DeMario Douglas is New England&#8217;s top wide out, having hauled in 24 receptions for 245 yards and a touchdown. As for the No. 2 receiver? That title belongs to rookie Ja&#8217;Lynn Polk, who has managed just 10 catches.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll see if the Pats try and\u00a0make a move\u00a0for a receiver in an attempt to make Maye&#8217;s life easier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New England Patriots could represent a perfect fit for this former All-Pro wide receiver.
