Overview
- The Patriots made no significant additions before Tuesday’s deadline despite active discussions, according to Mike Vrabel.
- “Deals are like being pregnant — you either are or you aren’t,” Vrabel said when asked how close New England came to a trade.
- Vrabel noted the personnel staff investigated options and made calls before electing to keep the roster intact.
- Reporting indicated New England shopped or gauged interest in defensive players such as Kyle Dugger, Keion White, and Anfernee Jennings without finding proper value.
- The 7-2 Patriots shift focus to Week 10 at Tampa Bay after a one-point win, leaning on continuity over splashy moves.
