New England Patriots Should Consider Selling Veteran Talent After Another Disappointing Loss
The New England Patriots are facing some tough decisions after another disappointing loss, this time to the Miami Dolphins. With a record of 1-4, the Patriots are far from being contenders this season and it may be time for them to consider selling off some veteran talent.
One player that could be on the trade block is wide receiver Kendrick Bourne. At 29 years old, Bourne could be a valuable asset to teams in need of help at the wide receiver position. Another potential trade chip is veteran tight end Austin Hooper, who may not be a long-term fit for the Patriots’ offense.
Jonathan Jones is also mentioned as a potential trade chip that could bring in a solid return for the Patriots. At 31 years old, Jones may not make sense to keep around for the long term.
While it may be a tough decision to part ways with some of these veteran players, it could be the best move for the Patriots to make in order to acquire more young talent through the NFL Draft. It will be interesting to see what decisions the Patriots make ahead of the trade deadline, but selling off some veteran talent could be the key to building for the future.
