Report: ‘Don’t be surprised’ if Patriots enter trade market in effort to overhaul offense
By Alex Barth, 985TheSportsHub.com
The Patriots are busy working to improve their offense, whether Tom Brady comes back as the quarterback or not.
According to NBC Sports Boston’s Tom Curran, New England is expected to hit the phones hard before the new league year begins on March 18.
The Patriots are already active in overhauling their offense and, while the timetable for Brady becoming a free agent makes it tough for the team to make seismic moves to improve, don’t be surprised if the team is busy on the trade market before free agency opens.
Dating back to before the 2019 season, the Patriots have been linked to a number of different wide receivers and tight ends supposedly available in a trade. Whether it’s Stefon Diggs, O.J. Howard, or another name completely off the radar right now, it appears Bill Belichick is looking for a big splash.
The Patriots should have room to maneuver once Brady’s situation is cleared up and the new CBA is passed, both of which are expected to happen right around March 18.
