Patriots Trade Rumors: Tyler Eifert Targeted; Bengals Maintain High Asking Price

As they continue to search for more pass-catching help, the New England Patriots are reportedly looking at Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert leading up to Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET trade deadline.

Per The Athletic's Jeff Howe, the Patriots are among teams that have shown the most interest in acquiring Eifert.

Howe noted it's unclear if the Bengals will lower their asking price enough to help facilitate an Eifert trade.

Ryan Izzo has been the most prolific receiving tight end in New England this season. The 23-year-old only has six receptions for 114 yards and one touchdown in six games.
