The Patriots make any trades Tuesday, which not only surprised fans but also NFL insiders.
New England wasn’t going to get dramatically better if it did make moves before the trade deadline. But it was an opportunity to deal away unhappy veterans or players on expiring contracts and give more opportunities to potential cornerstone players.
Fans were disappointed by the lack of action from Eliot Wolf and his staff, and it seemed like an NFL insider expected more.
“I’m also a little surprised that the Patriots didn’t move anyone outside of edge rusher Joshua Uche,” ESPN’s Dan Graziano wrote Wednesday.
