"Because the Patriots are projected to be potential buyers ahead of the trade deadline in a couple of weeks, there's a good chance they will be looking to improve some of their weaker positions before it's too late. They still have an estimated $54 million in cap space, most of which they'll want to rollover to next year, but there are a few players who might be on their radar."
"Among the most obvious would be improving their backfield, especially since Antonio Gibson went down with a season-ending ACL injury against the Bills last week. They could look within the division to upgrade their running back room, and the Jets might have the answer in Breece Hall. The second-round pick in the 2022 draft has been a key part of the Jets' offense over the last four years, but hasn't reached his full potential just yet."
"The running back headlines this past weekend when he made a post on Instagram with a photo of himself arriving for their Week 6 game against the Broncos in London, captioning it "Free 20", seemingly implying that he wants to be let go from the team.

The Patriots are projected to be buyers ahead of the trade deadline and hold roughly $54 million in cap space, most earmarked to rollover to next year. Antonio Gibson suffered a season-ending ACL injury, prompting a need for backfield reinforcements. Breece Hall could be a target; he has been productive for the Jets since 2022 but has yet to reach full potential amid coaching, quarterback and coordinator turnover. Hall's social post captioned 'Free 20' suggests dissatisfaction in New York. The Jets' struggles under first-year head coach Aaron Glenn could make Hall available and increase the likelihood of a divisional trade.
