Podcast: Why were the Patriots quiet amid a chaotic trade deadline?

It was sugar and rainbows for the New England Patriots in Week 8, following their 22-17 road win over the New York Jets. Not only did they beat a tough division rival, but they managed to do so with no quarterback controversy.

However, for some, the rumbles of thunder and jolts of lightning crept back into the picture after seeing coach Bill Belichick do absolutely nothing at the trade deadline.

The likelihood of the Patriots being buyers was always going to be low, but they weren’t even sellers, despite reportedly receiving calls on the availability of Isaiah Wynn, Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Damien Harris.

In this week’s episode of the Patriots Wire Podcast, Ryan O’Leary and I recap the win over the Jets, the upcoming game against the Colts and coach Bill Belichick standing pat at the trade deadline.
