The New England Patriots made two major trades yesterday, sending safety Kyle Dugger and edge defender Keion White to the Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers, respectively. This isn’t what you’d normally expect from a 6-2 team, but the moves make sense in context. Dugger and White had good moments in their careers under previous regimes, but simply weren’t a fit for head coach Mike Vrabel.

The trade deadline in November 4th, and the Patriots have likely sold every player they intend to sell. Now, it’s time to buy. Second-year quarterback and MVP candidate Drake Maye has this team in position to win the AFC East, but they could use a few more players to truly elevate themselves to Super Bowl champions. Over the next few days, look for the Patriots to try and trade for the following five players.
