Now that the New England Patriots have dropped tight end Aaron Hernandez over murder charges involving the execution-style killing of Odin Lloyd, some collectors are turning to eBay to score a deal on what could be a macabre piece of sports memorabilia.

Hundreds of others, though, just wanted to swap their Hernandez shirts for those of a teammate not charged with murder. Today, the Patriots offered to exchange Hernandez jerseys for the customer’s choice of any other player, and plenty took advantage.
