The New England Patriots have received calls from multiple teams inquiring about the availability of Ryan Mallett.
Mallett was a third round pick by the Patriots in 2011 and continues to backup Tom Brady at quarterback.
The Patriots would like more than a third round pick for Mallett as they have invested the past two seasons in developing him.
The Cleveland Browns have long been favorites to acquire Mallett.
Three sources said the odds are stronger that the Patriots trade Mallett.
