Eliot Wolf says Patriots would consider trading top draft picks to improve roster in 2025
"If there’s something we think can help us, we’ll definitely be open to it."
With several weeks to go before the 2025 NFL season kicks off, the Patriots could be in the running to make an additional trade.
According to New England executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf, the Patriots are open for negotiations.
“Yeah, absolutely. We’re talking to all 31 other teams and trying to do what’s best for us,” Wolf told reporters on Monday before the training camp practice. “If something presents itself, I think those things are often a lot more complicated than the fans and some others like to make you believe, but if there’s something we think can help us, we’ll definitely be open to it.”

Several notable NFL talents are reportedly available, including Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin, Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons, and Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson.
The price to acquire players of such talent would still be steep, probably necessitating New England include either a first or a second-round pick.
According to Wolf, that’s alright.
“Sure, yup,” he quickly replied when asked if the Patriots would be “willing to give up in a trade a second or maybe even a first-round pick to make the team better this year?”
“Just doing what’s best for the team,” Wolf added. “If there’s a player out there we feel can help us, and it cost [a high draft pick], then we would consider doing that.”
