Kyle Williams, a second-year Patriots receiver, addressed ongoing rumors connecting A.J. Brown to New England. Williams said he is focused on his own performance and will continue working regardless of whether Brown arrives. He acknowledged Brown’s production and skill, noting Brown’s consistent habits and dynamic play. Brown has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in six of seven NFL seasons. Williams also described studying Brown’s game and trying to play with a similar mindset despite being smaller. Reported trade timing is influenced by contract and salary-cap considerations for the Eagles, including the ability to avoid significant dead money if a deal occurs after June 1.
"“I'm focused on where my feet are,” Williams said. “If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, we still gotta keep going.” While Williams remains focused on improving his own game this summer, he did acknowledge Brown's established resume and dynamic skillset. The 28-year-old Brown has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in six of his seven seasons so far in the NFL."
"“He's somebody that I studied a little bit. I'm not as big as him, but I try to play big if I can,” Williams said of Brown, who measures out at 6-foot-1 and 226 pounds. “He's just a great player. Great habits, a consistent guy. He's a player you would want to look up to and watch.”"
"Some of the reported waiting game between the Patriots and Eagles is tied to Brown's contract. Even if a potential handshake agreement has been made between New England and Philadelphia, the Eagles don't have much of a reason to deal him until after June 1, when his salary cap charge is spread out between 2026 and 2027. If Philly dealt Brown before June 1, they'd be on the hook for a significant $43.3 million dead"
