Bill Belichick, Patriots always bear watching at NFL's trade deadline

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Bill Belichick loves to trade, and the NFL’s trade deadline is Tuesday.

This combination adds a compelling subplot surrounding the 5-2 New England Patriots, who have won four games in a row and are preparing to visit the Buffalo Bills on ESPN’s Monday Night Football.

The phones, as usual, are ringing at Patriots headquarters.

“A trade is a two-way street, so you have to have a trade partner. But I would say, in our case, probably the other 31 teams -- maybe excluding the ones in our division because we’re probably not going to deal with them -- I think they know we’re willing to trade,” Belichick said earlier this week on sports radio WEEI.
