Report: Patriots hosting former Bills wideout Jordan Matthews

Jason Getz / USA TODAY Sports

The New England Patriots are reportedly testing out some potential new depth weapons for Tom Brady on Monday, bringing in wide receiver Jordan Matthews and tight end Troy Niklas for workouts, a source told Field Yates of ESPN.

Matthews appeared in 10 games for the Buffalo Bills last season, catching 25 passes for 282 yards and one touchdown.

However, the 25-year-old racked up nearly 2,700 yards across his first three seasons in the NFL - all with the Philadelphia Eagles - and could provide the Patriots with a more physical option on the outside.

Niklas had a career-high 132 yards in 15 games for the Arizona Cardinals during 2017.
