If the clock struck 7 on Thursday night and the Patriots hadn’t already placed a call to the Washington Commanders’ personnel office, somebody isn’t doing his job.
During joint practices next week, if Patriots staffers aren’t dropping not-so-casual hints anytime they’re in earshot of a member of the Commanders’ brass, somebody is blowing it.
And if it’s possible to pull off a trade for Washington receiver Terry McLaurin, and the Patriots don’t make it happen, they are missing another huge opportunity.
McLaurin, who has racked up over 1,000 receiving yards each of the last five seasons for the Commanders, doesn’t want to be a Commander anymore.
