PATRIOTS PICK UP TE ERIC SAUBERT
The New England Patriots acquired tight end Eric Saubert from the Atlanta Falcons for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2020.
What does it give the New England Patriots
With Rob Gronkowski now retired, the Patriots are searching high and low for tight end help. Saubert is a dart throw for New England at this point, and it is not even certain that he will make the team out of training camp.
What does it give the Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons probably accepted a conditional seventh-rounder for Saubert because he was not likely to make Atlanta's roster this year. He may not make New England's either, which would eliminate the conditional pick here.
Fantasy impact
There is a long road to fantasy relevance for Saubert, who must first make the Patriots (and then develop a rapport with QB Tom Brady) Do not bet on that happening. Pass on Saubert.
