The Eagles’ willingness to trade AJ Brown makes the Patriots a likely partner due to their need for a clear WR1 and their connection to Mike Vrabel. The Patriots are viewed as the frontrunner, with June 1 expected as a key date and signs suggesting Brown will not remain with the Eagles in 2026. Most other teams’ interest appears to have faded, but a new rumor raises concern about the Jaguars. NFL insider James Palmer suggests the Patriots still look ahead, yet Howie Roseman may keep exploring options to secure the best return, and the Jaguars could potentially improve the offer.
"Since it became clear that the Eagles were willing to trade wide receiver AJ Brown this offseason, the Patriots immediately became the most obvious trade partner given the connection to Mike Vrabel and their need for a clear-cut WR1."
"With that in mind, plus all the chatter surrounding an unofficial deal, it seems like a waiting game for the trade to be announced, with June 1 circled on the calendar. At this point, it looks inevitable that Brown will suit up with the Patriots, and the Eagles continue to dish out more signs that he won't be on their roster in 2026."
"The latest rumor suggests the Jaguars are a team to be concerned about, and that's terrible news for the Patriots, who looked just days away from adding Brown to their roster. The Eagles could ruin the Patriots' hopes of trading for AJ Brown with a shocking new team"
"In fact, he emphasized GM Howie Roseman's likely desire to explore all possibilities for a trade to secure the best return, and that the Jaguars might offer something better than the Patriots can."
