Patriots Eyeing Potential A.J. Brown Trade

The New England Patriots are considering a trade for Philadelphia Eagles star receiver A.J. Brown to bolster their offense following their Super Bowl defeat.

Despite reaching the Super Bowl in 2025, the Patriots identified receiver as a key weakness outside of Stefon Diggs. Coach Mike Vrabel, who worked with Brown in Tennessee, acknowledged they'll explore all options to improve the roster when asked about potential trades at the scouting combine.

While no deal is imminent, the Patriots could pursue Brown to give quarterback Drake Maye a premier target. However, such a move would likely come at a significant cost, with the Eagles expected to command substantial compensation for their top receiver.
