After spending the offseason and training camp with Baltimore in 2021, Wade was traded to New England in advance of the start of the regular season.
In 2023, Wade saw action in 14 games for New England, starting six in the secondary for the Patriots. A native of Jacksonville, Fla., Wade prepped collegiately at Ohio State University (2017-20), totaling 35 career games played, including 19 starts, for the Buckeyes.
