The New England Patriots sit at 2-6 on the season in the early stages of a rebuild.
These types of teams with veterans are often on the selling end of the NFL trade deadline. The Patriots began that process on Monday when they traded edge rusher Joshua Uche to the Kansas City Chiefs for a 2026 sixth-round draft pick.
That should signal the direction New England takes, but could they make surprising moves to buy?
Maybe.
NFL insider Josina Anderson reported on Tuesday that the Patriots could “potentially add” at the trade deadline with targets of wide receiver, defensive tackle and offensive tackle.
