Which Patriots wide receivers will be gone by the trade deadline?

Patriots starting WR Nelson Agholor
According to Perry, Nelson Agholor is the most likely to go out of all four. Agholor isn’t playing up to the same level as Meyers and Parker, so the Pats may see value in trading him away to allow room for roster growth in other areas.
He peaked when he was with the Philadelphia Eagles, and he just hasn’t been able to produce what the Pats need. Last season, he had 37 catches over 473 yards and just three touchdowns.
According to Roto Baller, “The 29-year-old played on 62.5% of offensive snaps during his first four games. However, that number has since dropped to 12% and six percent, respectively, over his past two games.”
He’s only falling down on the depth chart and definitely seems to be a likely trade candidate. They’d free up space on the roster for players with more promising potential, and they’d also free up $14.9 million from their payroll.
