New England Patriots: 4 moves team can make ahead of NFL Trade Deadline
The New England Patriots are sitting pretty at 5-0. These are some moves the Patriots can potentially make via trade in the upcoming weeks to add some extra punch to the offense.
The New England Patriots can use some help, mainly on the offensive side of the ball. Between Antonio Brown coming & going and players like Phillip Dorsett and N’Keal Harry being banged up, depth at the wide receiver position is looking pretty thin for the time being.
It has been said that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady “strongly disagreed” with the decision to cut Brown after just a very short spell in New England, and some of these possible moves would likely satisfy Brady and give him more weapons to choose from on offense.
This unit is ranked 11th in total offense (6th in the pass and a lowly 21st in the run), and it can definitely use a boost to try and come closer to matching how the Pats dominate on the defensive side of the ball (1st in total defense, 1st against the pass, and 3rd against the run).
