The New England Patriots have already dealt edge rusher Josh Uche to the Kansas City Chiefs and are reportedly open to additional trades as the Nov. 5 deadline approaches. According to Dianna Russini of *The Athletic*, other players may be traded as part of a rebuilding strategy. Despite a recent win over the Jets, the Patriots sit at 2-6 and are not viewed as contenders, making it likely they’ll part with certain assets.
Wide receivers K.J. Osborn and Tyquan Thornton are among the potential trade candidates, with Osborn’s time with the Vikings proving him to be a solid supporting option. Some speculated Kendrick Bourne might be moved, but he may stay with the team. Defensive players such as cornerback Jonathan Jones and defensive lineman Davon Godchaux could also be on the table.
Since the Patriots are focused on rebuilding, it’s logical to trade aging players or those on expiring contracts. While their roster lacks considerable appeal, certain Patriots players are likely to draw interest from playoff teams seeking depth. With players like Jones, who brings steady secondary presence, the Patriots could secure valuable assets by trading for picks or younger players. The league is watching closely to see if New England will make additional moves by the deadline.
