The New England Patriots have had mixed results this season, as evidenced by their 4-3 record.

The Patriots also lost their most recent game to the Chicago Bears by a 30-24 final score. With this, it would not be surprising if the Patriots look to boost their roster soon with the trade deadline approaching.

The Patriots should be on the hunt for a new wide receiver to strengthen their offense. Because of this, they are now being linked to one of this year's top trade candidate wide receivers.

In a recent article for Bleacher Report, Kristopher Knox named the Patriots as a top potential suitor for Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings.

Jennings would be an intriguing player for the Patriots to add to their roster. While the 29-year-old has had a very quiet campaign for the Vikings, his resume indicates that he could bounce back if given a fresh start. Thus, it would be understandable if the Patriots made a push for him leading up to the deadline.

If the Patriots acquired Jennings, he would give New England another impactful wide receiver to work with. He undoubtedly showed this just last season, as he posted nine touchdowns and 643 receiving yards in 15 games with the San Francisco 49ers.

Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see if the Patriots make a push to acquire Jennings ahead of the deadline. He could be a good buy-low trade target for New England to take a gamble on.
