Brandon Tate appears to be the guy the Pats expect to stretch the field. They have plenty of possession receivers (Welker, Edelman, the TEs) but need someone to pull the coverage deep and open up those in between routes.
The NFL guys on twitter seem to be unanimous in their belief that the Pats won't go after V Jackson. They think they don't want a guy with a pending suspension, off the field issues, and a year long suspension if he is caught again. Plus people are noticing his absence hasn't slowed down the Chargers air attack, so maybe Jackson was more a beneficiary of Rivers and not as big a talent as he supposed.
