Former Bulldog on the move? Patriots exploring trade options for WR Malcolm Mitchell

Former Georgia WR Malcolm Mitchell has shown some skill at the NFL level since he was drafted by the New England Patriots in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
However, he could soon be the odd man out in New England, as it was reported on Monday that the Pats could be looking to move on from the former Bulldog.
As you can see in the tweet below, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero says the Patriots have been seeking a team that would be interested in acquiring Mitchell:
The #Patriots have been seeking a potential trade partner for WR Malcolm Mitchell, per sources. Flashed talent with 32 catches in 2016 but injuries have been frustrating. May be odd man out in New England, even with Julian Edelman’s suspension.

Mitchell had 32 catches for 401 yards and four touchdowns in 2016, but didn’t get on the field due to injuries last season.
The Patriots are ready to move on, but if Mitchell can stay healthy, he could end up having a nice career elsewhere.
