The New England Patriots have holes on offense and are looking to fill them with more than capable options.
Per Jason La Canfora, the Super Bowl champions are interested in trading for All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Green to bolster the receiving corp.
“Rival general managers I spoke to agreed that the Bengals could get a first-round pick for Green, 31, if the acquiring team was able to negotiate a new deal for him and if Green returns from his foot injury soon. It is highly unlikely that Green signs an extension with the Bengals, I’m told. League sources said the Saints and Patriots are among the teams most deeply looking for pass catching help, and both would have interest in oft-injured tight end Tyler Eifert as well, who is making just $1 million this season.”
In addition NFL insider Jay Glazer told his audience that, ‘It wouldn’t shock me’ if the Patriots went after Sanders.
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has been interested in Sanders since his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers signing the receiver to an offer sheet but losing him when they matched.
