Looking at the Patriots' roster and how they have collectively performed so far this season, there are plenty of guesses about what positions they might target with the trade deadline right around the corner. Many have suggested they'll prioritize the offense, but the latest from reporters like The Athletic's Chad Graff suggests otherwise —and with some of the rumored names potentially becoming available, it makes sense.
Among those most noteworthy are Titans' pass rusher Jeffrey Simmons, who Mike Vrabel is very familiar with from his days in Tennessee. Although he hasn't been officially declared available before the deadline, rumors claim the Patriots are expected to be strongly interested.
