The Patriots pursued several top tradable players during the offseason, with primary interest focused on wide receiver Terry McLaurin. McLaurin agreed to a three-year extension that places him among the highest-paid receivers for 2025 and removes him from New England's potential trade options. His retention could shift Patriots attention toward defensive upgrades, including pass rushers Trey Hendrickson and Micah Parsons, but the offense still presents more pressing questions. The team holds roughly $60 million in cap space and coach Mike Vrabel signaled willingness to trade high draft capital, yet viable offensive trade targets are now limited before Week 1.
Since the start of the offseason, the Patriots have been connected to several of the top tradable players looking for a new extension. The most interest appeared to be over wide receiver Terry McLaurin, especially since all reports seemed to indicate that he was the farthest from getting a deal done with his team. That is no longer the case now, after the past week of rumors suggested they were closing in on a new contract to keep him in Washington for the long haul.
It was announced on Monday morning that McLaurin signed a three-year extension that officially made him the sixth-highest-paid receiver in the NFL for the 2025 season.
