The problem in Wynn's case is he just can't stay on the field consistently. He's missed 34 of the Patriots' 65 regular season games due to injuries since New England drafted him in the first round in 2018.

And given the Patriots' lack of depth at tackle, it might be better for them to just hold on to Wynn.

Wynn started Friday night's preseason finale against Las Vegas Raiders after not playing versus the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers earlier this month. He's in the final year of his contract and, if healthy, projects to be the Patriots' starting right tackle when the regular season begins Sept. 11 against the Miami Dolphins.
