With Tom Brady and a number of veteran Patriots players moving to other teams, there has now been speculation on whether Julian Edelman has played his last down for the franchise.
During an appearance on ‘The Herd’ with Colin Cowherd — Bill Simmons put rumors out there that the veteran WR could get traded to the Detroit Lions.
“Even Edelman, it seems like he might be headed to Detroit, is that official?” Simmons said to Cowherd.
Cowherd responded, “it’s talked about.”
Hours later, Patriots insider Tom E. Curran dismissed it when a league source told him there’s “not a chance in hell” that Edelman gets traded.
The Lions seem to be a place where former Patriots players end up, with head coach Matt Patricia having signed several former players since he left the franchise. In the past month, he’s gotten Jamie Collins, Danny Shelton, and picked up Duron Harmon in a trade.
