Patriots no longer including Josh Kline in Eric Rowe, Eagles trade

New England Patriots offensive lineman Josh Kline will no longer be included in the trade that would have sent him to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for Eric Rowe, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter.

What It Means:

Kline will remain one of the primary reserves for New England along the interior of the offensive line, but we suspect the Patriots intend on moving him. He may wind up being released if they don't find a suitor.

The Patriots ranked 15th against the pass in 2015, with a schedule-adjusted 0.08 Defensive Passing Net Expected Points per play.
