Wide receiver Cameron Meredith is set to meet with the Patriots for the second time this week, according to Josina Anderson of ESPN.com (on Twitter). The free agent met with the Patriots a couple of days ago, soon after his release from the Saints.

Meredith failed to meet his high expectations in New Orleans thanks to health issues, but he’s apparently healed up from the torn ACL and assorted problems suffered towards the end of his run in Chicago.
With the Saints, Meredith had just nine receptions on the year. But, in 2016, Meredith flashed major potential with 66 grabs for 888 yards and four scores in 14 games, only ten of which were starts.
The Patriots could use someone like Meredith as Julian Edelman deals with a thumb injury and Demaryius Thomas works his way back from the PUP list. Of course, Josh Gordon also remains suspended, leaving a need for talent in the WR group.
Had nearly 900 yards in his sophomore year. Hope he’s able to make a comeback with the Patriots!
Belichick was asked about Gordon the other day and his response was “We don’t have anything to do with Josh Gordon” so that doesn’t bode well for him…
Gordon is suspended and prohibited from any official business with the Patriots. Do you actually think Belichick is actually going to say anything more???
