The New England Patriots have probably the worst set of skill position players in football, and they also have a horrendous offensive line.
You would then think that the Patriots would focus most of their efforts rectifying their offense in the coming months.
However, Cory Woodroof of USA Today feels that New England’s biggest offseason move may very well come on the defensive side of the ball.
Woodroof is predicting that the Pats will swing a blockbuster trade for Las Vegas Raiders superstar Maxx Crosby, satisfying their dire need for an elite pass rusher.
“The Raiders are in full rebuild mode, as much as the franchise might not want to admit it. Crosby is one of the league’s best pass-rushers, and it’s possible Las Vegas will send him elsewhere this offseason,” Woodroof wrote. “The Patriots could use a player of Crosby’s caliber on their defense to help the Mike Vrabel/Drake Maye era take flight. New England could really use Crosby going forward, and the team has plenty of cap space to pay him what he’s worth for the years to come.”
