""Execs expect the Patriots to acquire receiver A.J. Brown from Philadelphia in June, once the salary-cap implications become more tenable for the Eagles.""
""It seems just a matter of waiting until June 1 passes for Philly to trade A.J. Brown, who in my opinion is a declining player each of the last three seasons.""
""We've talked about this since last January. We're gonna try to do everything we can to strengthen our roster, through the draft, through free agency, multiple ways of player acquisition.""
""If Philadelphia trades Brown after June 1, the player's dead cap hit would fall to $16.4 million from a whopping pre-June 1 $43 million.""
The New England Patriots are anticipated to acquire A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles after June 1, when salary-cap implications become more manageable. NFL executives believe the Patriots are a likely destination for Brown, who has been linked to them since last year. Head coach Mike Vrabel has remained non-committal in public statements but emphasizes the team's commitment to strengthening the roster. If the trade occurs post-June 1, Brown's dead cap hit would significantly decrease, making the deal more feasible for the Eagles.
