Report: Patriots likely not interested in Dez, could bring back Matthews

Despite the release of Kenny Britt, the New England Patriots reportedly aren't looking to bring in the biggest wide receiver name on the market.

A team source told NFL Network's Mike Giardi that New England "probably" has no interest in Dez Bryant, and is more likely to bring back Jordan Matthews, whom the Patriots released earlier this month. Matthews is currently dealing with a hamstring injury.

A new-look Patriots receiving corps is headlined by Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsett, Eric Decker, and Cordarrelle Patterson. Julian Edelman remains the Patriots' top wideout but is suspended for the first four games.

Britt was expected to be a starter in Edelman's absence but New England parted ways with him after signing him to a two-year deal in December.
