The door may have flung open for the New England Patriots to acquire a star wide receiver, as Terry McLaurin has requested a trade from the Washington Commanders.
Whether or not the Commanders actually fulfill McLaurin's demands remains to be seen. After all, McLaurin is under contract through 2025, and Washington still has a chance to strike a long-term deal with the two-time Pro Bowler.
Nevertheless, teams will absolutely be calling the Commanders about a potential trade now, and you have to figure that the receiver-needy Patriots will be one of them.
Bleacher Report's Moe Moton has put together a trade package for New England to pry McLaurin away from Washington, and it involves the Pats sending a second-round draft pick as well as wide outs Kendrick Bourne and Ja'Lynn Polk to the nation's capital.
