Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer mentioned it earlier in the week and doubled down on his comments Thursday.
Is there really something to the New England Patriots calling up the Carolina Panthers and orchestrating a wide receiver swap in which they acquire Adam Thielen?
Breer certainly sees the Patriots landing Thielen before the upcoming Nov. 5 NFL trade deadline in exchange for someone like failed draft pick Tyquan Thornton, who New England reportedly is shopping, as a positive move.
“That’s the sort of thing that could make some sense,” Breer said on 98.
