The Facts: The Patriots have one of the strongest 1-2 wide receiver combinations in the NFL with Randy Moss and Wes Welker. But who’s No. 3? The Patriots explored one possibility on a Wednesday free-agent visit at Gillette Stadium -- Galloway.

Diehards Line:The Patriots' depth at receiver took a hit when Jabar Gaffney -- the No. 3 option in 2008 -- signed with the Broncos. As Globe staffer Mike Reiss notes, the 37-year-old Galloway has traditionally been regarded for his speed and high yards-per-catch average. Over his 14 seasons with Seattle (1995-99), Dallas (2000-2003) and Tampa Bay (2004-2008), he’s averaged 15.5 yards per reception. Slowed by a injured foot last year, he appeared in nine games (with just four starts) and was limited to 13 catches for 138 yards.
