ESPN's Bill Barnwell predicts a trade between the Houston Texans and New England Patriots that would address a need for both teams while helping the Patriots unload Kyle Dugger's contract.

One ESPN analyst believes it’d make sense for the Patriots to move Kyle Dugger at the trade deadline. Senior NFL writer Bill Barnwell proposed 13 deals where he “aimed for realism over sheer entertainment.

The Texans should be getting help in the back-end soon in the form of rookie Jaylen Reed and veteran Jimmie Ward. But a dart throw on Dugger is far from the worst bet to gamble on, especially if the Patriots will eat the bulk of his $9.8 million salary.

Patriots safety Jaylinn Hawkins hamstring injury may be worse than reports so far have shown. After missing last week’s game because of the injury, Hawkins did not participate in practice today, and in a move that may be linked to the situation, New England signed former Falcons starting safety Richie Grant, per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald.

Amid the trade rumors, it's a hilarious way for Kamara to shut down trade speculation. The longtime Saints running back doesn't want to go anywhere, and he expressed so in hilarious fashion three weeks away from the trade deadline.

A.J. Brown has been rumored to be a possible trade target for the Patriots as he's expressed displeasure over the Eagles' situation.

While speaking with reporters on Thursday, Chris Olave discussed his uncertain future as rumors continue to circulate that several teams may pursue him ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline.
