Patriots plan to sell Christian Barmore instead of adding talent
Summary

The New England Patriots, currently second in the AFC East, are reportedly unlikely to acquire players at the NFL trade deadline. Instead, Christian Barmore may be on the move. NFL insider Jonathan Jones suggests the Patriots are more likely to stand pat rather than bolster their roster, especially with several receiver injuries. They are preparing for a Week 10 game in Munich, complicating potential trades. If a move happens, it might occur after Week 8 and before Week 9.
