Gaffney and Caldwell are great depth receivers. I have a hunch though, that one will be cut during training camp. We'll start the season with Stalworth, Welker, Gaffney (or Caldwell), Jackson and a draftee as our WRs.
Why would either be cut. Both are potentially valuable contributors and both have small cap numbers. Caldwell's cap # is $1.8 million and Gaffney's is $750k.
As for Jackson, he will most likely start the season on the PUP if not end up on the IR. It is very doubtfully he will be ready to start the season no matter the optimism. That means we will need at least one more WR on the roster.
The Pats aren't opposed to carrying six WRs and I kinda doubt the Pats will draft another WR high this year after spending two second picks in the past two years on WRs. So I am betting if they draft a WR, it won't be until the second day.
