Patriots Player News

The Boston Herald's Doug Kyed reports that the Patriots are expected to actively shop JuJu Smith-Schuster, with New England's front-office "looking to offload" the veteran wideout this offseason. Kyed believes that a potential trade may require the Patriots to attach a draft pick to convince another front office to take on his contract as Smith-Schuster heads into his second year of the 3-year, $25.5 million contract he signed last offseason.

JuJu Smith-Schuster is also someone New England is expected to explore its options with, although that one will likely be a little tougher due to the size of his contract.
