Patriots outline trade targets and edge plans at the Combine

At the NFL Scouting Combine, New England laid out a cautious, trade- and draft-focused plan for 2026: they are weighing A.J.

In free agency they’ll pursue edge rushers and safeties while targeting a blocking tight end and drafting a receiving one; Barmore’s future could involve a trade, Tonga may depart, Onwenu is expected to stay, and the club aims to stay cap-conscious with a mix of veteran signings and draft picks to remain competitive.

At the NFL Scouting Combine, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said New England will look at everything to improve the roster, keeping the door open to potential moves like trading for Eagles star A.J. Brown. Brown, who formerly played for Vrabel in Tennessee, has been productive but his 2025 numbers dipped, and any deal would depend on compensation and fit.
