The Los Angeles Chargers are considering trades ahead of the NFL deadline, with the New England Patriots as a potential partner. The Patriots, currently struggling at 2-6, have indicated they are open to trading players.

Among the available options, wide receiver K.J. Osborn and tight end Austin Hooper stand out, both on expiring contracts. Additionally, veteran cornerback Jonathan Jones could bolster the Chargers' defense.

With the Chargers needing to strengthen their roster, especially in key positions, the Patriots could provide valuable assets to help them make a playoff push.
