The New England Patriots are headed down the wrong path right now, as they currently sit in third place in their division with a 2-4 record following a loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Bill Belichick’s squad doesn’t have much of a chance to make a run at the playoffs to become legitimate contenders. However, they can trade some pieces that would net them future value to fill the team with young talent.
