The Patriots have a chance to be big spenders ahead of the trade deadline. Here are 12 dream targets for the team.

TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings led the backfield on Sunday. Now it's Tuesday, and the NFL trade deadline is at 4 p.m. ET, and the Pats might make a move. The Sporting News' Teddy Ricketson sees New England as one of the best trade fits for Jets running back Breece Hall.

The New England Patriots have been linked to a surprising potential trade to reinforce their defense before the deadline.

That isn't for a lack of trying, according to a recent report from The Athletic's Dianna Russini. Multiple AFC East teams reportedly reached out to the New York Jets for potential deals, but per Russini, the Jets were "reluctant to trade with division rivals."

The New England Patriots are reportedly making one of their edge rushers available at the trade deadline and four teams that could have interest are the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions.

After trading Kyle Dugger to the Pittsburgh Steelers, reports emerged that the New England Patriots had been willing to absorb a portion of the veteran safety’s salary to facilitate a move. Indeed, a significant part of his original $9.75 million base salary for the 2025 season will remain in New England.
