The NFL trade deadline is a week from Tuesday, but if you were hoping to get a sense of where things stand with the Patriots, Bill Belichick doesn't really know.
Speaking via video conference Tuesday, Belichick was asked about it and his sense on how things might play out, but he indicated he isn't that involved and deferred to director of player personnel Nick Caserio.
“That is something that I'll check in with Nick [Caserio] on here this week," he said. "I usually don’t get too involved in that. The communication on that really goes through the personnel department with Nick and his staff. I would say generally speaking the coaches are pretty involved in their game preparations at this point in time until something becomes more a realistic opportunity. We’ll see how that goes.
"I don’t really have a good sense on that one way or the other. I am sure there are conversations out there. How close that would or wouldn’t be for us, I am not really sure at this point.”
Sitting at 2-4, the Patriots could go in a number of different directions if they do make a trade or two. They could trade away a few of their better players, or look to add to the roster for not only this year, but the years to come with players under contract beyond just this year.
