The Patriots are in the best position possible heading into the trade deadline in two weeks, as they sit with the most available cap space to spend if they want to acquire a player to further boost their roster this season. Plenty of names have circulated that might be on their radar, with a few familiar names becoming the most prominent.
Among the most notable is wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, who followed Josh McDaniels to the Raiders when he became their head coach in 2022. The Patriots chose to sign JuJu Smith-Schuster instead of Meyers, so he followed the offensive coordinator to the AFC West and has since put together the best seasons of his career.
