It\u2019s frustrating sometimes because you always want to be very transparent with the player and let them know; they hear it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf a report comes out that is absolutely 100 percent false, and you have to discuss it with that person, it just takes more time and more space.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Get Starting Point<\/p>\n<p>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Given the way things have played out over the course of the season, it was notable that wide receiver KJ Osborn was a conspicuously healthy scratch against the Titans. And while fellow receiver Tyquan Thornton was on the injury report on the days leading up to last weekend\u2019s game, the decision to make him inactive could be a sign the pass catcher is on the trade market.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Mayo said making Osborn a healthy scratch against Tennessee was a personnel decision, saying the job of the coaching staff was to \u201cput the players out there that we think are going to help us win that game.\u201d The head coach did praise Osborn for his \u201cenergy\u201d on the sideline during Sunday\u2019s game, particularly when it came to his reaction after a third-quarter catch from DeMario Douglas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA guy like that, it\u2019s all about the team,\u201d Mayo said of Osborn, who has seven catches for 57 yards in six games. \u201cIt\u2019s not about him as an individual. And we need more people like him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll be a challenge to figure out how GM Eliot Wolf might negotiate his first trade deadline at the helm of the Patriots, but it is worth noting that he hasn\u2019t been shy about trading potentially impactful defensive players. In August, he dealt pass rusher Matthew Judon to Atlanta for a third-round pick in 2025. And late last month, New England traded outside linebacker Joshua Uche, shipping him to Kansas City for a sixth-round pick in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Moving forward, other defensive veterans whose names have been linked to a possible trade include veteran cornerback Jonathan Jones and safety Kyle Dugger.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Jones was asked about his mind-set as the trade deadline approached. One of the last links to the Patriots\u2019 win in Super Bowl LIII, he was philosophical about what the future might hold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cControl what you can control,\u201d he said. \u201cI just show up to work every day, just try to do the same thing, same thing I\u2019ve always done. Whatever happens, happens. I just love going to work and playing football.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe guys in there understand professional football and they understand this time of the year,\u201d Mayo said in late October. \u201cFrom our perspective as an organization, we\u2019re always trying to get better, whether that\u2019s to bring players in, or addition through subtraction. We have to both look in the short term and also in the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Christopher Price can be reached at christopher.price@globe.com.
