New England Patriots: 3 intriguing trade possibilities at wide receiver
The New England Patriots search for a top wide receiver could still come via trade. With 12 draft picks entering the NFL Draft, here are 3 intriguing trade possibilities.
With Randall Cobb agreeing to a deal with the Dallas Cowboys, the New England Patriots are quickly running out of options in the wide receiver free agent market. That means, a possible deal to give Tom Brady another top weapon is extremely high.
Considering the team was reportedly in on the Antonio Brown sweepstakes and was wildly rumored as a destination for Odell Beckham Jr., there is no doubt the Patriots are willing to deal for a top receiver. That actually may be the best option for the defending Super Bowl champions.
With two second-round picks and three third-round picks in the upcoming 2019 NFL Draft, Bill Belichick certainly has some options. The team could go younger by using all their picks, which Belichick seemingly never does, or use a high pick or two to get themselves a stud receiver.
Like they did in 2007 when they acquired Randy Moss in a draft day deal with the Oakland Raiders, the New England Patriots will be looking for a similar opportunity.
While dream playmakers like Julio Jones or Mike Evans are unrealistic, here are three trade targets who could give Tom Brady another reliable target in the offense.
