The New England Patriots have been active at the NFL trade deadline in each of the past three seasons, and players who could be available this year are beginning to trickle out to the media.
The trade deadline is Nov. 3 at 4 p.m. this season. The Patriots acquired linebacker Jonathan Casillas, defensive tackle Isaac Sopoaga and cornerback Aqib Talib in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Patriots already have made seven trades in 2015, acquiring guard Ryan Groy, tight ends Asante Cleveland and Michael Williams, wide receivers Jalen Saunders and Keshawn Martin, linebacker Jonathan Bostic and defensive tackle Akiem Hicks.
