Which players could Patriots add or move? Latest trade deadline buzz originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

Common NFL trade deadline wisdom holds that the best teams look to add talent, while the worst teams look to exchange players for future draft picks.

Could the 2-6 New England Patriots go against the grain in the coming days?

The Patriots could be buyers ahead of Tuesday's deadline and have inquired about several players, NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported Saturday.

"Similar to what the Bears did last year, New England could use the trade deadline to beef up its young talent base and start free agency early," Rapoport wrote.
