"If there are concerns about waiting for Brown to become available, and if the Eagles will even be willing to move him, on top of worries regarding his injury history and age, then there are plenty of reasons for the Patriots to look into a guy like Falcons' star Drake London."
"They got a first-hand look at the superstar talent during their matchup last year, and London absolutely blew past the Patriots' defense in a way more experienced receivers couldn't. So if extension talks continue to fizzle, there might be a chance Atlanta could trade him."
"He is entering his fifth season with the Falcons and has already put together an impressive resume despite the revolving door of quarterbacks he's had to work with. He's already reached 1,000+ receiving yards in a season (2024)."
The Patriots continue searching for a top-tier wide receiver in free agency. While rumors suggest they may wait until June 1 to trade for AJ Brown from the Eagles, concerns about his availability, injury history, and age present obstacles. With limited options after Jaylen Waddle's trade to Denver, Drake London of the Falcons has emerged as a viable alternative. Extension negotiations between London and Atlanta are stalling, potentially opening a trade opportunity. London demonstrated elite talent against the Patriots' defense last season and has already accumulated over 1,000 receiving yards despite playing with inconsistent quarterback play. If Atlanta fails to extend him, the Patriots should aggressively pursue acquiring the young star receiver.
