The Patriots are looking to move wide receiver Malcolm Mitchell, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.
Per his sources, Mitchell appears to be the "odd man out" even with Julian Edelman missing the first four games of the season due to a PED suspension. The Patriots are actively seeking a trade partner to move Mitchell.
Mitchell was a part of the 2016 Super Bowl winning squad where he caught 32 passes for 401 yards and a touchdown as a rookie. He missed all of last season with a knee injury.
The Patriots traded Brandin Cooks to the Rams this off season, but there still doesn't appear to be room for Mitchell on the wide receivers depth chart. Ian Rapopport of NFL Network noted the team is high on Kenny Britt, acquired near the end of last season. They also acquired Jordan Matthews and Cordarrelle Patterson this offseason.
