"Although there is still a slim possibility that they pull off a monster trade for Cowboys' elite pass rusher Micah Parsons, a smaller trade would appear more plausible, especially after hearing the news that receiver Jakobi Meyers requested a trade out of Las Vegas. Because he followed Josh McDaniels there after Bill Belichick chose JuJu Smith-Schuster over him in free agency, there's a good chance he would be interested in returning to where his career started in Foxboro."
"Among the five teams deemed most likely to get a trade done for Meyers, the Patriots are projected to be the easiest one to accomplish it because of their familiarity with the receiver. They also have the means to get a deal done and even a potential need for him on the offense, which many consider to be too thin at depth, which became even more problematic for the receiving corps after they released Javon Baker and Kendrick Bourne."
The Patriots retain roster flexibility and can still execute trades before the regular season. A blockbuster trade for Micah Parsons remains unlikely while a smaller deal appears more plausible. Receiver Jakobi Meyers requested a trade out of Las Vegas and could be inclined to return to Foxboro after following Josh McDaniels to the Raiders. New England is a frontrunner because of familiarity with Meyers, roster need at receiver, and the ability to complete a low-cost transaction. Receiver depth weakened after releasing Javon Baker and Kendrick Bourne, increasing incentive to pursue Meyers. Reported trade valuations include a 2026 fourth-round pick or a later pick plus cornerback Alex Austin, though a mid-round pick might suffice.
