To little surprise, interest has been shown in several of the team\u2019s players, although some are off limits at this point.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple teams have called about cornerback\u00a0<strong>Christian Gonzalez,\u00a0<\/strong>veteran insider Josina Anderson reports (video link). She adds New England\u2019s top pick from last year is \u201cnot for sale,\u201d which comes as little surprise. Attached to his rookie contract through at least 2026 (potentially 2027, if his fifth-year option were to be picked up), Gonzalez represents an obvious building block for the rebuilding franchise.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.profootballrumors.com\/files\/2024\/11\/USATSI_23983650-200x300.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The former No. 17 selection was limited to just four games during his rookie season, but he has been healthy so far in 2024. Gonzalez has served as a full-time starter, collecting 37 tackles, one interception and four pass deflections. His coverage statistics (57.1% completion percentage, 77.4 passer rating allowed) are improved compared to last season, and expectations will remain high moving forward for him as a central figure in the team\u2019s secondary.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow cornerback\u00a0<strong>Jonathan Jones\u00a0<\/strong>is also set to remain in New England, but other positions are worth watching as the November 5 deadline approaches. Wide receiver is chief among them, and the team has been shopping <strong>Tyquan Thornton\u00a0<\/strong>recently. The 24-year-old is on the books through 2024, but his limited production has left his trade value rather low. Veteran\u00a0<strong>K.J. Osborn<\/strong> has a stronger resume, but as a pending free agent he too is unlikely to fetch considerable draft capital in a trade. The latter is nevertheless a strong candidate to be dealt in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Giardi of the Boston Sports Journal said during a Friday appearance on WEEI that at least one receiver move should be expected, adding Osborn is the likeliest to be shipped out (video link). The free agent addition has seen his workload decrease considerably in recent weeks, leading to frustration being expressed. New England\u2019s other wideout options (including rookies\u00a0<strong>Ja\u2019Lynn Polk\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Javon Baker<\/strong>) could be in line for increased time in the event an Osborn deal \u2013 something which has previously been floated \u2013 were to be worked out.<\/p>\n<p>Giardi adds the 27-year-old has stated a desire to be traded away to both the Patriots and the local media, making him one of several receivers worth watching closely. Osborn\u2019s base salary for the season is only $1.18MM, so any number of buyers could absorb the remainder of that figure rather comfortably. He has posted just 57 yards and one touchdown on seven receptions to date, but prior to 2024 Osborn proved to be a solid depth complementary option in Minnesota. He could soon find himself aiming to replicate that role on a new team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Patriots have made one move on the trade front so far, and more could be coming.
