One of the many New England Patriots free-agent additions was wide receiver Mack Hollins. New England is Hollins’ sixth NFL destination, most recently playing with the Buffalo Bills. He had the second most receptions (31) on the team during his one year in Buffalo.

Here are the full contract details, as laid out by Mike Reiss:

2025

Base salary: $2 million (guaranteed)
Roster bonus: $50,000 per game
Workout bonus: $150,000
Incentives: Up to $1 million

2026

Base: salary $2.9 million
Roster bonus: $50,000 per game
Workout bonus: $150,000
Incentives: Up to $1 million

Hollins is not the “big fish” free-agent receiver that some may hope the Patriots acquire, but he was a decent complementary piece for Josh Allen in 2024. A receiver that worked with Allen may end up being productive with Drake Maye considering their similar skill-set and stature.

Overall, Mack Hollins is pretty similar, as far as ‘quality’ of receiver goes, to some of the names currently in New England (DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, and Kendrick Bourne). However, as a downfield threat with a different build, he could be useful in creating a more diverse passing approach for the Pats.
