New England Patriots AFC East
Trade Details
SHAUN WADE TO NEW ENGLAND Thursday, August 26, 2021
The New England Patriots acquired cornerback Shaun Wade from the Baltimore Ravens for a seventh-round draft pick in 2022 and a fifth-round draft pick in 2023.
What does it give the New England Patriots?
The Patriots are always looking for value, so adding the talented but enigmatic Wade makes a lot of sense. He is not guaranteed to make New England's roster, but he should get a real chance.
What does it give the Baltimore Ravens?
Wade, Baltimore's fifth-round selection this year, failed to crack a deep and talented Ravens secondary. So, Baltimore was able to land two late picks for his services.
Fantasy Impact
Do not draft Wade in any format. Instead, monitor how he does with the Patriots. He is not going to be a fantasy factor unless the Pats trade Stephon Gilmore (he is rumored to be on the block), and Wade establishes himself as a starter.
