FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Coming off a 4-13 season and with a new regime led by executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf and coach Jerod Mayo, the New England Patriots are in rebuilding mode.

Wednesday's trade of outside linebacker Matthew Judon to the Atlanta Falcons for a third-round pick reinforces it that much more.

Judon was entering the final season of the four-year, $56 million contract he signed with the Patriots in March 2021.
