Patriots Floated to Reunite With Former 1st-Round Pick in Trade

The New England Patriots have been identified as a potential landing spot for a known defensive playmaker as the NFL trade deadline nears. NFL insider Albert Breer has floated a reunion with K’Lavon Chaisson, the former Patriots edge rusher who joined the Washington Commanders during the offseason. The possibility lands after the Patriots improved to 5-3 with a 24-19 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 1, bolstering their position in the AFC playoff race. Chaisson was one of New England’s most productive defensive players last season, recording a career-high 7.5 sacks before departing in free agency.
