"I'm told Romeo Doubs signing with Patriots DOES NOT end their interest in trading for A.J. Brown. Obviously WR need isn't as dire so dynamics change a bit and maybe ultimately they don't land him because of high price. But they still love A.J."
"Although Patriots fans have had mixed reactions to Doubs' arrival, he is considered a great signing for their receiving corps, who can play like Stefon Diggs but is much younger and cheaper. That puts some concerns to rest after they chose to release the veteran last week, and should add some excitement about what Doubs can do with Drake Maye."
The Patriots signed wide receiver Romeo Doubs on Tuesday, prompting fan concerns about their pursuit of Eagles star AJ Brown. However, NFL insiders including Cameron Wolfe confirmed the Patriots remain very interested in trading for Brown and will continue pursuing him at the right price. While Doubs is considered a strong signing—a younger, cheaper alternative to Stefon Diggs with red zone expertise—he is not viewed as the needle-mover the Patriots need at the WR1 position. The signing reduces the urgency of their receiver need but does not diminish their interest in acquiring Brown, though the high price may ultimately prevent a deal.
