Patriots Reportedly Gain Kony Ealy, Lose Jabaal Sheard On Busy NFL Day

The New England Patriots made another move Friday afternoon in what’s been a busy 2017 offseason. The Patriots added depth on their defensive line by reportedly acquiring defensive end Kony Ealy from the Carolina Panthers. The Patriots traded a 2017 second-round pick in exchange for Ealy and a 2017 third-round pick.

While Ealy is on his way to New England, defensive end Jabaal Sheard reportedly is leaving to sign with the Indianapolis Colts.
