2. Matthew Judon to the New England Patriots
The New England Patriots are 6-2 and in control of the AFC East. Nobody thought this would happen at the beginning of the season, and while their weak schedule may be artificially boosting their record, nobody can deny that this team should make the postseason. However, how deep they go depends on what they do at the trade deadline, and they should reach out to the Dolphins about Matthew Judon.
Judon is not the player he once was, and he won’t singlehandedly turn New England’s defense into the 2000 Baltimore Ravens. However, edge defender is arguably the biggest need on the Patriots roster, and adding Judon for a late-round pick would provide some much-needed depth to the roster. Harold Landry and K’Lavon Chaisson have played well this year, but someone else must step up on the outside.
