Insider Says to Keep Eye on Patriots Trading for Future Hall of Famer
With the injuries, it makes too much sense.
The New England Patriots are closely monitoring the possibility of trading for a future Hall of Famer, as reported by an insider to the NFL's Week 7. The Indianapolis Colts, who sit at 2-5, could be among the teams making moves, according to Albert Breer. Quenton Nelson, a Pro Bowl left guard and three-time First-Team All-Pro, has been with the Colts for nine seasons and is considered one of the most intriguing players available at the trade deadline.
Breer suggests that the Patriots might be interested in Nelson if their offensive line continues to struggle. With the Colts having recently let go of their general manager, Chris Ballard, there are potential changes afoot that could lead to a deal. DeForest Buckner, Jonathan Taylor, and Cam Bynum are other players that could be of interest to the Patriots.
The potential for a guard position upgrade is a major draw for the Patriots, as their current situation could significantly benefit from Nelson's presence.
