As the Chargers deal with their own issues, it looks like they added another task to Bill Belichick’s “to-do” list with three games left to go heading into the final three games of this 2023 Patriots season.

With the Patriots heading into Sunday’s game with questions at quarterback, it looks like one player will no longer be a factor.

Kayvon Thibodeau and Azeez Ojulari don’t set the edge well in the running game, and that is the area for New England to attack. 

The New England Patriots needed to cut down to 53 players on Tuesday, which left the club with some difficult decisions as they did their best to try and solidify areas of need at the expense of a couple of key names.

The Patriots can trade up or down, So we’ll go with a commonly believed scenario that they try to trade up to get a playmaker that they sorely need.
