The New England Patriots and their fan base entered the 2025 NFL season with high hopes under new leader Mike Vrabel. But even the most optimistic fans might have called you crazy if you told them that the team was going to be 6-2 and leading the Buffalo Bills in the AFC East race.
But this is the reality for the Patriots, and although it's been a few years since they've been in this position, they need to remember what being buyers at the trade deadline feels like. They cleared the path to a major move or two on Tuesday by trading away both Keion White and Kyle Dugger.
