patriots complete three trades before deadline passes

New England Patriots fans who often tire of speculation can rejoice; the 2025 NFL Trade Deadline has now passed. 4:00 p.m. EST has come and gone, and the clock has hit zero for general managers across the league. From the start of the regular season until now, a total of over 25 players have been dealt between franchises. A high number of 27 players saw moves from the start of the regular season to the conclusion of the Nov. 4 deadline.

The eight trades made within the last 24 hours tied for the second most on any deadline day since 1990; there were 10 trades on Nov. 1, 2022. There were also 18 total trades from Oct. 1 to trade deadline day this season, tied with 2022 and 2024 for the most in that time period in a season. With that in mind, here's a look at all of the trades from the Patriots and new head coach Mike Vrabel. 1.

WR Ja’Lynn Polk – New England Patriots to New Orleans Saints The New Orleans Saints traded for New England Patriots wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk back in Sept. during his time on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. The Saints received Polk and a 2028 seventh-round pick, while the Patriots got a 2027 sixth-round pick. The NFL trade deadline isn’t always a spectacle. But when it shines, it shines brightly — and the 2025 deadline brought some fireworks.

Before 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 4, a few high-profile names were on the move. The most active team was the New York Jets, who went all in on selling following their 1-7 start by sending star cornerback Sauce Gardner to the AFC South–leading Indianapolis Colts, then trading star... Between the two deals, the Jets landed a total of three first-round picks, which will play a massive role in shaping their future. Elsewhere, the Philadelphia Eagles added to their defense in the days leading up to the deadline, while the Jacksonville Jaguars (Jakobi Meyers) and Seattle Seahawks (Rashid Shaheed) both acquired wide receivers for their playoff...

Plenty of teams brought in new talent ahead of the deadline, setting the table for the remainder of the 2025 season. Here’s a full recap of all the deals and rumors that led up to the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday. — Nov. 4: The New York Jets traded DB Ja’Sir Taylor to the Los Angeles Chargers for a 2028 conditional seventh-round pick.

The Athletic has live coverage of Jets vs Patriots in NFL ‘Thursday Night Football.’ FOXBORO, Mass. — Mike Vrabel’s celebration was subdued, one befitting of the way this game ended, a tougher, more stressful challenge than the five consecutive wins that preceded it. There was no big fist pump or hug, simply a sigh of relief after the New England Patriots survived an ugly second half to eke out a 24-23 win over the Atlanta Falcons. It leaves the Patriots in shocking territory, given the last two seasons, in which they went 4-13. In Vrabel’s first season at the helm, the Patriots are 7-2, tied for the best record in the NFL, and winners of six in a row.

A team that won eight games combined in the last two years has a chance to match that mark in the first 10 games of Vrabel’s tenure when it visits the Tampa Bay Buccaneers... Still, this one wasn’t pretty. Quarterback Drake Maye had, by his recent standards, a pedestrian game: 19-of-29 passing for 259 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. The offensive line struggled. The pass rush was nonexistent. The Falcons should’ve tied the score with under five minutes remaining, but kicker John Parker Romo (who spent training camp with the Pats) missed the point-after attempt after Drake London’s third touchdown.

The NFL trade deadline has come and gone. While the New York Jets were busy making two blockbuster trades, the New England Patriots’ only move of the day was signing Jerry Rice’s son to the practice squad. Catch up from everything that happened throughout the day: TRADE — The Saints made a trade at the buzzer with the Chargers. Deadline deal: Saints are trading OL Trevor Penning to the Chargers, per source. The New England Patriots have reportedly explored the potential trade market ahead of the November 4 deadline.

It's to be expected of a team sitting at the top of the AFC East division with a 5-2 record. In only seven weeks, the Patriots have gone from a rebuilding team to potential playoff contenders. So a fire has been lit to see what they can get on the trade market to aid in their efforts to compete for a championship. According to The Athletic's Chad Graff, the Patriots have made more calls about defensive players than they have about offensive ones. "Like every other NFL team, the Patriots have already made calls to explore which players might be available before the deadline — and at what price. So far, in what might come as a surprise, the Patriots have made more calls about defensive players than offensive ones, according to a league source."

One of the bigger defensive names that comes to mind is Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson, who is currently playing on a franchise tag. The four-time Pro Bowler is an elite pass rusher who could provide an immediate spark on the edge for the Patriots' defense. Send this article to your social connections.

And after Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline came and went, it looks as though New England’s front office echoed a similar approach when it comes to targeting outside help.

New England opted to stand pat at the trade deadline, moving forward with the same roster that has jumped out to a 7-2 start this season. The trade deadline cycle is upon the NFL world, and two dominoes have fallen for the New England Patriots as a result. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the trades on Tuesday evening. The Patriots have traded defensive end Keion White and a 2026 seventh-round pick to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2026 sixth-round pick. That’s not all, though — they’re also sending safety Kyle Dugger and a seventh-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a sixth-round pick. Trade: New England is sending safety Kyle Dugger and a 7th-round pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for a 6th-round pick, per sources.
