Let’s nip these dumb ‘A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots?!’ commerce “rumors” within the bud proper now.
It’s not occurring.
The Philadelphia Eagles will not be buying and selling A.J. Brown to the Patriots.
Or any crew, for that matter.
There’s merely no good purpose for the Eagles to commerce him.
Not one.
It was lower than one yr in the past that Brown signed a contract extension that runs by way of the 2029 season.
A brand new deal that causes the Eagles to lose $13.9 million in cap house this yr if he’s traded earlier than June 1.
It doesn’t matter that Brown used to play for Mike Vrabel.
It doesn’t matter that Matthew Berry included this notice within the issues he heard whereas on the NFL Mix (daring emphasis mine):
14. To that time a couple of shallow WR market; I’ve heard the Patriots WILL do no matter they will to get an actual “WR1” for Drake Maye and the brand new teaching workers. I heard they’re knocking on all doorways, seeing what they will presumably commerce for, and one individual advised me they heard the Patriots known as Philly asking if A.J. Brown was out there. Shrug emoji on if that’s true, or what Philly’s reply was, however this a lot appears sure: New England will aggressively attempt to improve its large receiver room this offseason.
It doesn’t matter {that a} Patriots beat reporter lately stated that Brown “is a way more cheap get” than different prime receivers. That reporter’s actual quote, by the best way:
“I really like A.J. Brown. And I really like the truth that you might be really wise to return to A.J. Brown as a substitute of barking up the Tee Higgins, DK Metcalf, and [Brandon] Aiyuk [trees]. Who’re simply not gonna occur. A.J. Brown is a way more cheap get. Why would the Eagles divorce themselves from him? Um, I don’t know precisely what the—”
Lol.
Precisely zero reasoning on why the Eagles can be keen to commerce him.
As a result of there’s none!
You’re simply not getting A.J. Brown, Patriots followers.
Ballot
Are the Eagles buying and selling A.J. Brown to the Patriots or another crew?
