Teams are calling the New England Patriots about trading for veteran wide receiver Nelson Agholor, sources told Jordan Schultz, theScore's NFL insider.

The 29-year-old wideout was involved in New England's game plan earlier this season but hasn't seen many snaps lately. Agholor, who didn't play in Week 6 due to a hamstring injury, has received only two targets over his last two appearances.
Agholor has racked up 14 receptions, 225 yards, and one touchdown through six games this season after putting up 37, 343, and three in 15 contests last year.
The 2015 first-round pick ranks fifth on the team with 20 targets in 2022 behind receivers Jakobi Meyers and DeVante Parker, running back Rhamondre Stevenson, and tight end Hunter Henry. Meyers has caught a team-high 26 passes for 355 yards and two touchdowns.
Agholor played the first five seasons of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles and also spent one campaign with the Las Vegas Raiders before joining the Pats. He's notched 30 touchdown catches across 108 career appearances.
Patriots wideout Kendrick Bourne has also been linked to trade speculation ahead of the Nov. 1 deadline.
