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

[Wozzy]

If the return compensation drops, go get him.

If it doesn’t, use a couple draft picks on WR and spend on some premium UDFA WR’s as well.

This isn’t hard.

It is totally not hard for someone who does not understand the complexities of such a trade

You aren't going to hear anything about a Brown trade until at least the draft at this point. I don't care what Roseman or Wolf says at this point. It means nothing to whether Brown is traded or not.

Not from the Patriots, the Eagles or Brown who should keep his mouth shut until then.

Here's what we know. Brown isn't getting traded until 6/1 at the earliest. Roseman wants more for Brown than the Pats want to give. Brown doesn't want to be in Philly. Someone will have to move off their current position.

But we knew all this 50 PAGES ago and yet this ****ing thread KEEPS on going.

Gotta wonder if Nick Cattles posts here.

His latest mock draft has him conducting it with the assumption that the Pats are trading for AJ Brown.

Lazar’s mock draft, an article directly on Patriots.com, also assumes a Brown trade

I don't think it's going to happen. The Patriots can get their WR in the draft, there's no need to blow high draft picks for an expensive WR who is approaching 30 with a balky knee. I would trade up for Tyson or Hurst later rather than trade with the Eagles.

When PHI doesn't reduce its price enough on June 2nd, how do you go back and use two draft picks plus getting an UDFA?

You were trading next year’s picks all along, not this year’s picks.

There’s plenty of fat at the back end of the 90 man roster they could cut to fit one player on the roster.

It's why I advocated for locking this thread and maybe starting a new one if anything new comes out. This thread is off the rails.

Eh! It is the offseason. Who cares if there is an active thread? Ignore it if you don't want to read.

My point is I visit this thread for AJ Brown discussion, as I'm interested in that only, not the other, totally unrelated, stuff being posted here. So no, I will not ignore it as I may miss something interesting but it was a waste of time reading the last few pages.

WRITE AND REPEAT TEN TIMES
PHI is not trading Brown before June 1st.
==========================
The patriots will draft knowing that this is the case.

If they have a deal in place we won’t know until then, either way Philadelphia could still be mulling offers.

I recommend not doing that. I accidentally ignored this thread and missed the initial blow up of rumors that AJ Brown was likely being traded here post June 1.

You might miss some fun info that gets dumped here and all the talk about it by ignoring it.

Especially if he gets traded here. I could see all the initial responses happening in this thread and they would be missed

WE won't know, but the team will.

If a deal is in place with us and PHI chooses to trade with another, then this will greatly hurt PHI's credibility.

If a deal is not in place, I would think that we will draft a WR in the first four rounds.
=================
When parties have an agreement In the NFL and in the business world, these are essentially contracts. Yes, they can be subject to physicals, and yes, a company can weasel out. Companies can choose to make agreements and break them. Everyone then knows what their agreements are worth.
================
I expect that we have an agreement in place with PHI and that Brown will be practicing in Foxboro with a patriots uniform. However, I don't know. If we don't, we will likely draft a WR.

Baltimore clearly didn’t respect your unwritten rules regarding Max Crosby. A deal isn’t a deal until the contracts are signed.

The Patriots could have sent an offer to Philly said “this is our best offer” and Philly could have said “we’ll get back to you.”

There maybe more clarity at, or just before the draft, we won’t know if negotiations are ongoing or what other teams are offering.

As of right now the Patriots will have 3 WR’s under contract to start next offseason. Boutte, Hollins, Douglas don’t have contracts… they could and should draft or bring some rookie WR’s in either way… or extend some vets.
