Regardless of Tom Brady’s decision heading into 2020, the Patriots desperately need an upgrade at tight end.

Jacob Hollister, 26, spent his third NFL season with the Seattle Seahawks after getting traded by New England. He’s hitting the free agent market this offseason and could make for an excellent second-option guy for the Patriots. He had his best season last year after pulling in 41 receptions for 349 yards and three touchdowns. Hollister won’t hit the market as a top-tier guy, but he’s someone the Patriots would value more and utilize on a game-to-game basis.

Hollister spent his first two seasons in New England behind Rob Gronkowski and Dwayne Allen. If Belichick could convince Hollister to return on a team-friendly deal, he could quickly get re-acclimated to the team and become a valued resource.
