For the month of May here at CBSSports.com, we've been that teams around the NFL could potentially still make this offseason to turn themselves from playoff contenders into Super Bowl contenders. More NFL Of course, if there's one team in the NFL that definitely doesn't need any help in becoming a Super Bowl contender, it's the . Although the NFL is a league designed for parity, someone clearly forgot to tell that to the Patriots, who seem to laugh in parity's face every year. Under the iron fist of Bill Belichick, the Patriots have played in nine Super Bowls over the past 18 seasons, including four of the past five.Belichick probably doesn't need any help putting his roster together, but we're going to give him a Juan Toscano-Anderson Jersey few suggestions anyway. Although the Patriots have a talented roster heading into 2019, there are three small things they can do to put themselves in a position to return to the Super Bowl for the fourth straight season.Let's get to the list.1. Trade for Bill Belichick would never come out and say that New England still needs a tight end, but if you look at what the Patriots have done this offseason, it seems that Belichick still isn't fully convinced that his team is going to be able to come close to replacing , even though they've spent all offseason trying. Since , the Patriots have added multiple tight ends in Ben Watson, Austin Sefarian-Jenkins, and undrafted free agent (They also signed this year, but he was added before Gronk announced his retirement). Watson is arguably the best tight end they've added this offseason, but he won't .If you look at every succe sful Patriots team for the past 15 years, there's almost always been a star tight end, ranging from Watson (2004-09) to Gronk (2010-18). The Patriots have especially thrived when they've had two tight ends like they did when they pared Gronk with Aaron Hernandez (2010-12) and (2016-17). Basically, without a productive tight end on the roster, there's a real chance the Patriots offense could take Stephen Curry Jersey a small step back in 2019, which is where Rudolph comes in.For the Patriots, adding Rudolph to the roster would potentially go a long way toward replacing Gronk. Although Rudolph doesn't block as well as Gronk -- there aren't many tight ends who can -- he did put up similar numbers in the receiving game last season. In 2018, Rudolph caught 64 pa ses for 634 yards and four touchdowns while Gronk caught 47 pa ses for 682 yards and three touchdowns. Trading for Rudolph would actually be a cla sic Belichick move. Not only does the Patriots coach love to trade for tight ends -- we for Martellus Bennett in 2016 and -- but he has also proven that he's willing to pull the trigger on a deal when he feels that his team needs an offensive weapon. Since March 2007, we've seen Belichick go the trade route to add weapons like Randy Mo s, , Deion Branch and . In March 2018, we add in a trade with the . Of course, there is one potential drawback for the Patriots if they were to acquire Rudolph and that's his salary cap hit. A suming the Patriots didn't re-work his contract before making a trade, he would come Alen Smailagic Jersey with a cap hit of $7.625 million.If the Patriots feel that Rudolph is too expensive, they could also make a play for former tight end , who . Griffin isn't as talented as Rudolph, but he would come at a much cheaper price. 2. Add an offensive tackleThe Patriots actually added an offensive tackle , but that signing backfired on them when the player they signed ( ) . With Veldheer walking away from football, the Patriots now have a lot of questions at the one position on the offensive line where you don't want to have a lot of questions: Left tackle. As things currently stand, the team's depth chart at left tackle consists of and 2019 third-round pick , who are both coming off injuries and who have combined to play exactly zero NFL snaps in their career. On Wynn's end, he's still battling back that caused him to mi s the entire 2018 season. As for Cajuste, he's still recovering , which is expected to keep him sidelined until training camp. The Patriots already knew they had a serious depth problem at left tackle, which is a big reason why they added Veldheer. However, with Veldheer now retired, the Patriots need to start looking around for another veteran to add. If I'm Belichick, the first person I'd call is . Although the Patriots might have a tough time convincing Penn to sign as a backup, it's not crazy to think that he might be willing to sacrifice money and playing time for a chance to win a Super Bowl.If Penn's not interested or if he's out of their price range, the Patriots could go after someone like , or . All three players are available in free agency and all three guys would add some much needed depth. That being said, Penn would definitely be the most intriguing option. At 36 years old and coming off a season where he only played four games due to injury, the veteran might be willing to sign for le s and embrace a backup role if it means getting back to the postseason. In his 12-year career, Penn has only played in one playoff game, and that came back in 2007 (He was also a member of the Raiders when they made the playoffs in 2016, but he ).3. Sign If there's one move on this list that screams Patriots, it would be signing Gerald McCoy. As a matter of fact, as soon as the made the on May 20, almost everyone on the internet immediately a sumed that he would end up signing with New England. How much D'Angelo Russell Jersey yall wanna bet the Patriots get Gerald McCoy ADDY (@LethalHuxtable) Ill be waiting for the Gerald McCoy to the Pats tweet. Any minute now T (@TommyBrooks_) Patriots need to sign Gerald Mccoy asap #RIPDroopy (@oTbAdonis_AAG) Of course, the reason everyone automatically connected McCoy to the Patriots is because if there's one thing New England is better at than winning Super Bowls, it's convincing veteran players to sign with them at bargain-basement prices, which is likely going to have to happen with McCoy, because the Patriots don't have a lot of spare salary cap space.The good news for the Patriots is that McCoy might actually be willing to sacrifice some money Baron Davis Jersey to sign with them just so he can get to the playoffs for the FIRST TIME in his career. That's right, McCoy has never played in a postseason game. After being selected by the Buccaneers with the third overall pick in the 2010 draft, McCoy spent nine seasons in Tampa and didn't reach the playoffs once. To put that in perspective, the Patriots reached the playoffs nine times in those same nine seasons and played in five Super Bowls.McCoy has already made it clear that he wants to play for a "contender," which presumably means the Patriots would have to be one of the top teams on his radar. "I ," the six-time Pro Bowler recently told ESPN.com. "I'm not worried about where I'm living. Wherever I got to go to win. ... Everybody's open."When the Bucs decided to c
