Not a buyer's market at NFL's trade deadline, so Patriots stand pat

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- During Bill Belichick's Monday interview on sports radio WEEI, he made the point that it takes two sides to make a deal at the NFL's trade deadline.

As it turned out, deadline day was a one-sided story. There were no deals across the entire NFL, which reflects how this wasn't a buyer's market for teams like Belichick's New England Patriots.

Would the Patriots have liked Titans cornerback Jason McCourty? I don't think there's any question about that, but it was relayed to me through Tennessee connections that the Titans had no interest in trading him.
