The NFL trade deadline is just five days away, and the Patriots have already made some big changes to their offense this week and may be looking to make some more. Prior to the trade for receiver Mohamed Sanu, their were reports that said the Patriots were also inquiring about Buccaneers’ tight end, OJ Howard. Apparently, the Patriots have not quite given up in their pursuit for Howard. The Patriots currently have four tight ends on their roster in Ben Watson, Matt LaCosse, Ryan Izzo, and Eric Tomlinson. The Patriots even announced the release of Tomlinson on Wednesday around 11:00am but never officially filed his release because of the sudden decision to place Josh Gordon on IR.
