NFL analyst gave Patriots a tough grade after reported Keion White trade

Patriots receive lower trade grade after reported Keion White deal: The Patriots reportedly agreed to a pair of trades on Tuesday, with both defensive end Keion White and safety Kyle Dugger heading elsewhere.

The decision to trade White — who, per multiple reports, was dealt to the 49ers in exchange for a sixth and a seventh-round draft pick in 2026 — has received scrutiny from NFL analysts.

White, 26, had five sacks in 2024 as part of a much more active role in New England’s defense. This season has been a different story, as he was a healthy scratch in the recent win over the Browns.
