The New England Patriots are attempting to convince Tom Brady to stay in Foxborough and they'll need to add some offensive weapons to do so. According to Bleacher Report's Matt Miller, New England is eyeing AJ Green and Hunter Henry in free agency.

The 2019 season was a peculiar one for the Patriots, to say the least. Despite going 12-4 in the regular season, New England fell short of advancing to the AFC Championship Game for the first time since 2009.
While the defense was playing at a historic level, the offenseâled by Bradyâwas unable to consistently produce points. Even though some people blame Brady's age as the reason for the struggles, Brady wasn't exactly surrounded by a great cast.
Outside of Julian Edelman and James White, New England's offense lacked consistency. Partly due to the lack of help, Brady is going to test free agency for the first time in his career.
Heading into free agency, the Patriots would love to keep Brady until the end of his career. But for that to happen, they'll have to drastically improve the offense.
The Patriots understand that and are prepared to reportedly target quite a few of the marquee players in free agency. Among the players, Green and Henry are listed as possible options for New England.
Green is entering his 10th season in the NFL and had an ankle injury that kept him sidelined in 2019. Despite his recent injury woes, Green is going to be a coveted option in free agency.
On the other hand, Henry caught a career-high 55 receptions for 652 yards and five touchdowns. Whether it's Green, Henry, or others, it's evident the Patriots need to address their offense to retain Brady.
