The NFL trade deadline is quickly approaching, and one of the top names from the Patriots being thrown around is Nelson Agholor, who is on the final year of his contract and is owed around $9 million this season.
When the Patriots traded for DeVante Parker, many thought it would spell the end for Agholor, who had a rough initial season statistically. Then the team selected young rookie Tyquan Thornton in the 2022 NFL draft and Agholor played his way onto the roster after a strong camp. The Patriots quickly had good depth at a position they have struggled to find talent at over the years.
Now that Thornton is healthy and the Patriots are in need of reps for the young rookie, Agholor could be a piece to move, and reports are already circulating that teams have been calling.
Trade deadline coming Nov. 1. I’m told the Patriots have received calls on all of their veteran WRs: Jakobi Meyers, DeVante Parker, Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne. Agholor may be most likely to go, but contract (portion of his $9M base would go with him) could complicate things.
