"I do know that the Patriots have made an offer for A.J. It's around a one and a three (first-round and third-round NFL Draft picks). Not sure if the one is this year or next year, but I hear it's a one and a three, and [Eagles general manager] Howie [Roseman] said no."
"Howie is holding firm. Now, really, all eyes are toward New England, right now, if that's a possibility. You know the connection there. It's been talked about, and they definitely have been talking to him. There's no question in my mind, and they have to make a decision, because they're coming up on free agency here."
The New England Patriots made a trade offer to the Philadelphia Eagles for star wide receiver A.J. Brown, reportedly consisting of a first-round and third-round draft pick. The Eagles rejected this offer, as general manager Howie Roseman is seeking a first-round pick with a second-round sweetener. Brown's relationship with Philadelphia has deteriorated, making him a rumored target for New England since last year. The Patriots must decide whether to increase their offer or pursue alternative wide receiver options as free agency approaches. Alec Pierce from Indianapolis has also been mentioned as a potential target for New England's receiving corps.
