The New England Patriots have swung yet another trade ahead of the NFL’s roster cutdown deadline. Veteran kicker Nick Folk, who had been with the club since 2019, has been sent to the Tennessee Titans for a reported seventh-round draft pick in 2025.
Trading Folk removes another player from the Patriots’ roster. They had entered Tuesday with 77 signed, but after that particular move are down to 75 — 22 shy of the league-mandated 53-player threshold.
Other than the process of trimming the roster, here is what the decision to send Folk to Tennessee means from a New England point of view.
