From somewhere in the primordial ooze of this pandemic quarantine, a rumor has emerged. 

And we must take the figurative shovel to this wriggling little organism before it has a chance to grow. 

The rumor? The Patriots may trade wide receiver Julian Edelman.

The response I got from a league source when I asked about said rumor? “Not a chance in hell.”

The Patriots do need cap space, but they aren’t to the point where they need to part ways with a guy like Edelman.  Not yet anyway.
