Patriots Still Not Ruling Out an A.J. Brown Trade
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel didn't rule out the possibility of the team trading for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. "We've talked about this since last January. We're going to try to do everything we can to strengthen our roster through the draft, through free agency, multiple ways of player acquisition," Vrabel said at the NFL's annual meeting. The Eagles continue to say that Brown remains a member of the team, but the Eagles are financially incentivized to wait until June 1 to trade the Pro Bowl wideout. The Eagles will take a dead-cap hit of more than $40 million if they trade Brown before then, compared to around $20 million after June 1. The Pats released Stefon Diggs in early March and then signed Romeo Doubs in free agency, but apparently, they are still serious about adding Brown, who would immediately become quarterback Drake Maye's top target in the passing game. Brown played for Vrabel with the Titans from 2019 to 2021. The 28-year-old had his sixth 1,000-yard season in 2025 with the Eagles, but he was clearly upset with the direction of the offense. A move to New England to work with one of the best young QBs in the game could invigorate Brown.
