Patriots Eye Kayvon Thibodeaux Trade for Pass Rush Boost

0:00It's March 19th. Here's your NFL news in two minutes. Subscribe to stay locked in all season. The New England Patriots managed just 35 sacks as a team last season. That's a weak spot they need to fix pass before next year kicks off. Their pass rush has been underwhelming, and they're looking at every option to beef it up. In free agency, they lost K-Levon Sheson, but picked up Dremon Jones instead. Both guys put up similar numbers, so the front line looks about the same as before. Getting Harold Landry healthy again should give them a boost. Fans and analysts agree this isn't enough for a real turnaround. The team could grab talents in the NFL draft or swing a trade for a proven player. That would make a big impact on their defense right away. One name floating around is K-Von Tivado from the New York Giants. He went fifth overall in the 2022 draft and showed promise early on, finishing fourth in rookie of the year voting that year. He racked up 11.5 sacks in his second season, but has only 8 since then.

1:02Tivado plays next year on his $14,750,000 fifth year option. With younger guys like a dual card arising, his snaps might drop. A fresh start in New England could unlock his talent at a low cost without long-term ties. This episode is supported by a sponsor, see details in the description. Head in, sound on, lights out.
