MACK WILSON FOR CHASE WINOVICH

The New England Patriots acquired linebacker Mack Wilson from the Cleveland Browns for defensive end/linebacker Chase Winovich.

What does it give the New England Patriots
In a swap of defenders, the Patriots get the more natural linebacker in Wilson. He could thrive under Bill Belichick in 2022.

What does it give the Cleveland Browns
Winovich is more of a pass-rushing specialist, so he could get a shot at playing a rotational role behind Myles Garrett at defensive end.

Fantasy impact
Winovich could be a source of sacks in 2022 but he comes with too much risk at this time. Neither he nor Wilson is a recommendable IDP option.
