While the New England Patriots might be angry at some of their former employees, they’re still on good speaking terms apparently with another few in a different NFL city.
The Patriots and Detroit Lions have become frequent trade partners the past few years, and they reportedly have done so again. According to Justin Rodgers of Detroit News, the Patriots have acquired tight end Michael Roberts from Detroit for a future late-round pick.
A fourth-round pick in 2017 out of Toledo, Roberts caught 13 passes for 146 yards and three TDs in two seasons in Detroit.
