The Patriots may keep adding depth before Week 1

Eliot Wolf said New England is still discussing trades, while Mike Vrabel questioned the roster's depth. No specific incoming player has been named.

Why it matters

A late lineman or pass rusher could change early roles and injury cover. Watch the bottom of the roster before betting Week 1.
