NFL insider gives Patriots second life at chance to trade for AJ Brown
"According to NFL insider Josina Anderson, the Eagles are at least listening to trade conversations about Brown, and one source told her they might be open to a first-round pick in 2027, which the Patriots might be more willing to give up. It's still a steep price, but if Mike Vrabel wants his guy, then it might be what he has to pay."
"At some point in discussions, a league source conveyed to me Monday the belief that the #Eagles may be okay with a 2027 1st round pick & a 2026 2nd round pick for WR AJ Brown. When, I asked sources why Philly may* be okay..."
"Considering they just watched Pierce return to the Colts, Vrabel and Co. will have to go all-in to get another receiver instead, and Brown is looking more desirable by the moment. There are other trade options to consider, like Jaguars' Brian Thomas Jr., but there hasn't been much made about their interest."
After Alec Pierce re-signed with the Colts, the Patriots are pursuing alternative receiver options through trade. AJ Brown has become a primary target, with recent reporting indicating the Eagles may be open to negotiations. According to NFL insider Josina Anderson, Philadelphia could accept a 2027 first-round pick and 2026 second-round pick for Brown. Previous weekend reports suggested the Patriots already offered a first-round pick that was rejected, but Anderson's updated information suggests the Eagles' stance may have shifted. Head coach Mike Vrabel appears willing to pay a steep price to acquire Brown. Other options like Jaguars receiver Brian Thomas Jr. remain available but have generated less interest.
