"But, if the 4-2 Patriots really want to seize the opportunity this season in a wide-open AFC field, Eliot Wolf should leave no stone unturned when it comes to upgrading Maye's arsenal of pass-catchers. And after showcasing his explosive speed against New England on Sunday, could Saints wideout Chris Olave be a viable target for the Patriots ahead of the NFL's Nov. 4 trade deadline?"
"Breer noted that Vrabel has a good rapport with Buckeyes wide receiver coach Brian Hartline - who worked with Olave during his tenure in Columbus. "I can tell you that of all the guys that Brian Hartline's had there over the course of the last six or seven years - Garrett Wilson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Marvin Harrison - there's nobody he loves more than Chris Olave," Breer said. "So I think that Vrabel will get very good feedback on Olave from Ohio State.""
The Patriots' passing offense is thriving in 2025 behind Drake Maye and a receiving corps that includes Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte. New England, currently 4-2, could pursue additional pass-catchers to capitalize on a wide-open AFC and strengthen Maye's options. Chris Olave demonstrated explosive speed against the Patriots and has produced over 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first two NFL seasons, projecting high reception totals this year. Mike Vrabel shares Ohio State ties with Olave and can access insights from longtime Buckeyes receiver coach Brian Hartline. Olave carries concussion and other injury concerns that would factor into any trade decision.
