There's no reason for the Patriots not to make big-time trade for familiar defender

Looking at the Patriots' roster and how they have collectively performed so far this season, there are plenty of guesses about what positions they might target with the trade deadline right around the corner. Many have suggested they'll prioritize the offense, but the latest from reporters like The Athletic's Chad Graff suggests otherwise -and with some of the rumored names potentially becoming available, it makes sense.

Patriots may have accidentally found the WR1 they've been begging for

Since Julian Edelman chose to retire after the 2020 season, the Patriots have struggled to find reliable receivers for their quarterbacks to work with. That's a big reason Mike Vrabel prioritized boosting the position in free agency and the draft, especially since the expectations for Drake Maye's second season were sky high. It led them to sign Stefon Diggs, despite coming off a season-ending ACL injury, to become the offense's go-to pass catcher.

Patriots might already know the perfect trade option to boost their backfield

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.

Patriots' injury forces shaky defenders into critical roles in Bills matchup

On Saturday afternoon, news broke that starting pass rusher K'Lavon Chaisson would not be on the field on Sunday night, as he is still dealing with a knee injury that kept him away from practice in the days leading up to the game. That inevitably puts a lot of pressure on the rest of the defensive line, with an emphasis on the other pass rushers that will need to ensure Chaisson's absence is not too apparent, especially when going against a quarterback like Josh Allen and a running back like James Cook.

Patriots may have just uncovered their season-saving special teams star

The unit performed well during the preseason, but became more of a liability once the regular season finally began. The biggest problem continued to be at kicker, with rookie Andy Borregales looking like a potential mistake, on top of issues with the typically reliable punter Bryce Baringer, and tackling becoming more of a problem each week. What hasn't been problematic, however, is the return game, which has now been officially taken over by cornerback Marcus Jones.

Dolphins' OL crisis hits a new low after signing Patriots draft bust

After suffering a disappointing loss to the Raiders last Sunday, the Patriots hope to rebound in big fashion in their first divisional matchup of the season against a very depleted Dolphins team in Miami this weekend. Typically, this is a game circled on the calendar every year for the sole reason that the Patriots are considered cursed in Miami and have long struggled in their games in South Beach. However, their lackluster performance, which might be the kindest way of putting it, against the Colts last week, increases the Patriots' odds of adding the first win to their season.

It only took one play for the Patriots to regret their offseason kicker decision

Throughout training camp, the Patriots were fortunate to have a legitimate competition between their two kickers, one of whom, Andres Borregales, they used a sixth-round draft selection on earlier this year. The other, Parker Romo, was a member of the 2024 squad and brought a tough battle to the widely considered best kicking prospect of the 2025 class. That meant it took all the way until roster cutdowns for Mike Vrabel and Co. to ultimately decide who would fill the role this year.
