"With the deadline set for 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Eliot Wolf and the rest of the Patriots' front office still have some time to work the phones and try to acquire talent for a 7-2 New England squad. While there are several areas of the roster that could use some reinforcements for the stretch run, New England must also weigh whether or not it's worth relinquishing future assets for this winter - especially if the franchise is looking to cultivate a sustainable contender."
"But, even if New England isn't necessarily going big-game hunting for a star talent like Trey Hendrickson, Chris Olave, Breece Hall, or A.J. Brown, the Patriots still should be able to swing a deal or two to add some outside help before the deadline. "If something that we think is gonna help us now and in the future (comes up), then that's probably something we should look at," Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said during his weekly appearance on WEEI."
New England enters the trade deadline at 7-2 with front-office decision-making led by Eliot Wolf. The team still has time before the 4 p.m. Tuesday deadline to pursue trades and reinforce multiple depth-chart areas for the stretch run. Executives must balance adding immediate help against surrendering future assets to preserve a sustainable contender. The Patriots are unlikely to pursue top-tier stars such as Trey Hendrickson, Chris Olave, Breece Hall, or A.J. Brown but could execute smaller deals for outside help. Coach Mike Vrabel said the 7-2 record will not force the team into decisions.
