Shaun Wade's stint with the Baltimore Ravens has come to an end.
The former Ohio State cornerback, who was selected by the Ravens in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, was acquired by the New England Patriots in a trade on Thursday. Per multiple reports, the Patriots traded a fifth-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft and a seventh-round pick in the 2022 draft to Baltimore in exchange for Wade.

Wade, who won the Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year honor with the Buckeyes in 2020, signed a four-year deal worth close to $3.8 million with the Ravens on May 13.
Wade entered the 2020 college football season with many expecting him to be a first-round selection in the draft, but a move from slot to outside corner and a lackluster season by the Ohio State pass defense in general contributed to a slide to the fifth round.
In the Ravens' first preseason game on Aug. 14, Wade recorded an interception of New Orleans Saints quarterback Ian Book in the red zone to seal a victory for Baltimore.
That @shaunwade24 interception sealed the win to keep the preseason streak alive.
