Patriots Trade Rumor: Unexpected Name Could Be on Move at Deadline

ESPN analyst Dan Graziano reported that the New England Patriots could receive trade interest for backup quarterback Tommy DeVito ahead of the NFL trade deadline on November 10. While Graziano noted he does not believe New England is actively shopping players, DeVito's starting experience makes him a viable target for quarterback-needy teams.

DeVito is serving as New England's primary backup behind starter Drake Maye, with rookie Behren Morton acting as the third-string option. Additional rumors suggest the Patriots could consider defensive moves involving Carlton Davis or Christian Barmore, or potentially target offensive line depth such as New Orleans Saints guard Cesar Ruiz.
