New England Patriots acquire wide receiver DeVante Parker in deal with Miami Dolphins

The New England Patriots have gotten quarterback Mac Jones some help.

New England has acquired veteran wide receiver DeVante Parker, according to his agent, Jimmy Gould.

The Patriots will send their 2023 third-round pick to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for Parker and a 2022 fifth-round pick, according to ESPN. The 29-year-old will give the Patriots an experienced and accomplished outside receiver. Parker, who is 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighs 219 pounds, caught 40 passes for 515 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games last season.

“I am grateful to coach Belichick and Mr. Kraft for their efforts in making this happen and their faith in DeVante,” Gould said.

DeVante Parker (11), the No. 14 overall pick of the 2015 draft, has played for the Miami Dolphins for seven seasons.
