On Tuesday morning, the New England Patriots spun a trade for speedster wideout and kick returner Jalen Saunders, according to Schefty.

It’s no coincidence that the Patriots acquired a player with return ability after cutting loose Josh Boyce last night. Saunders is an extremely fast and shifty returner in the open field.
Only 22 years of age, Saunders was selected in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the New York Jets.
