A.J. Brown’s potential trade to the New England Patriots has been widely anticipated for months. The expectation centers on his connection to former head coach Mike Vrabel in New England and on consistent reports during the offseason. Jason McCourty, a former Patriots player and current analyst, indicated that insiders continue to echo the same sentiment that the deal is almost complete. He also suggested that other teams could still enter the mix, but the prevailing belief is that New England is the likely destination. The Eagles are not expected to trade Brown until on or after June 1, when they can spread his cap hit across two seasons, and a deal is expected to follow that date.
"“All the people that are on the inside ... continue to echo the same sentiment that it's almost a done deal that [Brown's] going to be a New England Patriot,” . Jason McCourty declares Patriots-A.J. Brown trade 'almost a done deal'"
"Considering McCourty represented New England not too long ago, he figures to have meaningful connections within the organization. The retired defensive back-turned-analyst didn't rule out another suitor entering the mix, though his sense of inevitability about Brown joining the Pats is quite telling."
"Meanwhile, all we can do is sit tight. The Eagles won't part ways with Brown until on or following June 1, when they can spread his cap hit across the next two seasons. However, a deal is reportedly expected to materialize once the aforementioned date comes around."
