The Baltimore Ravens traded rookie cornerback Shaun Wade to the New England Patriots on Thursday. Terms were not announced, but a source said the Ravens will receive a 2022 seventh-round pick and a 2023 fifth-round pick in return.
NFL Network first reported a deal with the Patriots was close. The Athletic reported earlier Thursday that the Ravens were having trade talks regarding Wade.
Wade was a fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft this spring. Considered a potential first-round prospect entering the 2020 season at Ohio State, he had an up-and-down senior season and slipped to pick No. 160 before the Ravens selected him.
Wade, who turns 23 in September, made a leaping interception in the team's preseason opener against the Saints. He had six interceptions and 25 pass breakups in 35 career games at Ohio State.
