The New England Patriots will acquire Cordarrelle Patterson in a trade with the Oakland Raiders, according to multiple reports.

The teams are expected to swap late-round picks in the deal as well.

Patterson is entering the final year of his contract. He is due a non-guaranteed base salary of $3 million. He has a $250,000 workout bonus as part of the deal.

The Patriots might use Patterson more as a kick returner than wide receiver.
