With more than a month to go until the NFL trade deadline, the New England Patriots have made a move. According to several reports, they have traded third-year offensive tackle Justin Herron to the Las Vegas Raiders for a draft pick exchange in 2024.
What exactly does the transaction mean from a Patriots perspective, though? Let’s take a closer look at it to find out.
The offensive tackle depth chart is down to four...ish: Herron entered training camp as the No. 3 offensive tackle behind starters Trent Brown and Isaiah Wynn, but by the end of it had slipped to the fourth spot on the depth; he was leapfrogged by fourth-year man Yodny Cajuste.
