Patriots could steal Terry McLaurin in trade that barely dents their rebuild
Briefly

The New England Patriots have been trying to find a top-tier wide receiver, with prior attempts at Brandon Aiyuk and Chris Godwin unsuccessful. Although Stefon Diggs provides a short-term solution, the receiver lineup remains uncertain ahead of the preseason. The team might consider trading for Terry McLaurin of the Washington Commanders, who has requested a trade due to contract issues. The proposed trade would involve veteran receiver Kendrick Bourne and second-round pick Polk, aiming to enhance the Patriots' offensive capabilities and adding strength to their roster.
The Patriots found a short-term solution in former Buffalo Bills star Stefon Diggs, but their wide receiver depth chart remains a work in progress entering the preseason.
Washington Commanders superstar Terry McLaurin reportedly requested a trade amid failing contract negotiations, and the Patriots could offer one of the NFL's top trade packages for him.
B/R's trade pitch includes a veteran receiver and one with upside. Bourne can contribute right away, while Polk needs more opportunities to become a consistent playmaker.
This proposed trade would be an easy win for New England, as McLaurin is a proven playmaker and adds significant value at the wide receiver position.
