The Patriots have checked in with the Chargers on obvious trade/cut candidates during this week's open negotiating period, sources told the Herald. The Chargers are more than $25 million over the salary cap, and they must be compliant before the NFL's new league year begins Wednesday at 4 p.m. Their most obvious trade/cut candidates are wide receivers Mike Williams and Keenan Allen and edge defenders Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack.
