Albert Breer was the first to break the Aaron Dobson trade news on Tuesday afternoon:
The Patriots have been shopping 2013 2nd-round pick Aaron Dobson, per sources. With 128 snaps played this August, plenty of tape on the WR.
This is just the latest instance of the Patriots wheeling and dealing this month. Bill Belichick has been his usual self, looking to maximize the value of his roster right before the regular season commences. However, the prospect of the Patriots trading Dobson has more to do with Dobson than it does with talent-maximization.
