Tuesday is the trading deadline for teams in the league. After listening to Coach Belichick during his Friday press conference, I doubt if the team will entertain any offers.
Experts and talk show callers keep saying the Pats need to do something to open up their passing games due to the ineffectiveness of Joey Galloway who was expected to be the team's third receiver. Coach Belichick indicated that it would take too much time to bring a new player into the system.
Everything is pointing towards WR Brandon Tate, a 3rd round pick from North Carolina in this year's draft. Tate has been on the PUP list since the start of training camp and is eligible to come off after next week. Once he does, the team has a four week window to either activate him to the 53 man roster or place him on season-ending Injury Reserve.
Tate was expected to be a higher draft selection, but suffered a season ending knee injury last year against Notre Dame and missed the last seven games of the season.
He is considered a top return specialist and holds the NCAA career record for combined return yards for punts and kickoffs.
