Patriots Rumor A.J. Brown trade rumors heat up - Should Patriots get him?

[TheRainMaker]

I wonder if thats by design to make the tweet funnier or if these parody accounts have just gotten that lazy lol

I think they were lazy.

Has less to do with Brown's contract and more to do with Philly not having a lot of avenues to generate cap space right now to make up for the dead cap. But I do think that Roseman may be OK with taking short term pain in exchange for long term savings, especially if he thinks Sirianni is a lame duck anyway. He can fire him after this year and then have a very free and flexible cap situation for the next several years for the next coach.

Yes, PHI would be willing to take the short-term hit. Please help me.

How does PHI fit the cap hit under the cap now and before the final cut?

I just don't see it.
===============
BTW, is it allowed for PHI and NE to agree to a trade that isn't effective until after June 1 and sign it then? Yes, PHI would owe the option, but it seems that this would work.
=========
Of course, the first-round draft choice would be a 2027 draft choice and folks might stop jumping up and down. After all, a 2027 first is about equal to our 2026 2nd.

Just saw a tweet saying we gave up a 1st, a 3rd and Hooper. That can't be real.

More believable if the picks were 2027 picks and all the players could be traded.

AJ Hasn't done much since 2023, I'm not sure what guys are drooling over for 30M.

1000 yards as well as 7 tds the last 2 years is your definition of not doing much?

Until Diggs last year we have to go back to Edelman to find similar numbers.

In a 17 game season, it's kind of meh. For the compensation they could be asking and amount of money Brown is making, you'd expect more.

Im holding firm that a 2 is the highest I’m going. He fetched a 1 and a 4 when he traded 4 years ago. No way I’m paying the same for someone approaching 30.

That being said I think his numbers improve as his targets increase going from Hurts to Maye.

Part of that is put offensive system. No way he’s seeing 130 targets here

What EXACTLY does that mean?
1K , and consistently wh!ning is worth 30m?
This isn't Fantasy Football.

Hooper is a UFA so I would assume this is false given that the Pats would need to resign Hooper for it to happen

 

[dliverey44]

Both Brown or Pierce would help and given the similar price for each, give me the 25 year old that can grow with Maye for the next 4-5 years. On top of that I do not think it makes sense to give up draft picks when there are holes on the team.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

People will believe ANYTHING!

Nothing but ********. Isn’t Hooper a free agent ? He’s free to sign with Philly on 3/11 if they want him. This guy posts so much ******** and the next time he’s right will be the first time.

 

[Huckleberry1]

I like the player but someone is going to make a massive mistake paying him 30 million a year. These are the guys the Pats should be staying away from not guys like Brown and Crosby.

Disagree completely, the players they should be staying away from are older veterans that cost big money and high draft picks.

It's a parody account; the account just makes things up for fun.

 

[WhatJustHappened]

If we end up with him I'll be cheering for him, but I don't want him.
Too much $/Draft Picks which we need IMO.
#TRENCHES is where business starts, on BOTH sides of the line.

FANTASY FOOTBALL doesn't correlate to wins.
Take a fkn look around at teams that are stacked(you can look WAY BACK even).
Keep them off your guy, and PUMMEL the other guy, with guys that know how to get open.
Chism is young, without a lot of experience, but a lot of our "Stud" slots took YEARS to become STUDS, look it up.
He "gets" openings, he just needs to learn, and get faster , which is training...Troy Brown was CUT by Parcells, who is considered 1 of the best coaches EVER.

We need to get BETTER Destroying teams in the TRENCHES, BOTH sides.
Of course I'm just a dumbass that watches/watched games for many years.
Some here think ST'S aren't important...tell that to Devin Hester and others.

This isn't Fantasy Football, you have to PAY for QUALITY DEPTH, and sometimes it doesn't look fancy.

Thanks

The fair price shoukd be 2026 2nd rounder straight up

anything more is probably an overpay based on the dj moore trade where bills also received back a 5th rounder for the second

That would be crazy if we land AJ Brown before free agency even starts.

I could see #31 + being in play for Brown.

You may be right Eagles may demand 31 or just keep him
