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

[PatsFan2]

IF I'm Eagles brass I'm all over that; the 2027 Draft is Deep in many areas which is good news for us. I don't think the 28 Draft will be all that.

Yep. The only way I'm ever trading a future 1st round pick, for any veteran, is if he's still 25 or younger and I extend him as part of the deal.

The Eagles traded a 1st four years ago (?), and now he is older and has worse knees.

And this is worth a 1st rounder now?

I hope the Pats have better impulse control than some posters here.

Roseman MUST get Brown off of his team.

I’m sure he’d love to wait a year to get a 1st for a player he needs to get off of his team anyway.

“You want 1st in 2028 Howie?

OK, just give us Brown, and YOUR 1st round pick in 2029.”

I don’t know if I like giving up a first in ANY year. That’s why my only complaint about our 2026 draft was not taking a WR. Even with the Prunty pick in the 5th, they could’ve taken a shot on a WR. Not excited about any of the UDFA WRs we signed.

I rather they don’t get him if it’ll cost a 1st. I know a lot of us consider it a done deal, but the pressure is on THEM to trade him, not on us to give away too much.

The Commanders went to the NFC championship game in 2024, and they just picked in the top 10 in this draft.

Brown is a luxury and the trade is fraught with danger. Juice is not worth the squeeze.

Aging player with bad knees is not what we need.

Thats fine. Hate giving up a 1st anytime personally. Have to take some chances. Any trade is dangerous. Getting a #1 WR in the middle of a playoff window is pretty valuable.

No first rounder for me. As someone just said the Eagles traded a first 4 years ago for him. They traded 2 3rds for Greenard. That is all Brown is worth. Possibly a second

If this is the deal then they don't get Boutte.

Much better obviously to keep all ammo for the stacked draft in 2027.

 

[hornetfb85]

Whether we like the trade for AJ Brown or not, most likely he is going to make the team better. Him being here takes pressure off of Boutte and Doubs and so on. Do I want to give up a 1st…**** no I don’t. Am I gonna ***** an moan if the do, no to that as well. It is what it is. If Vrabel and the decision makers feel this is the best avenue let er rip. If they want to ride with Boutte and Co., I’m fine with that too.

I can't wait for the GDT every time Brown has a drop or bad route because you will have half the board saying see I told you he was not worth it. The a few plays later he will catch a TD and the other half will say see I told you he was worth it.

 

[SONS_OF_BELICHICK]

The fact is ....the eagles drafted and signed a few receivers.......so they will definitely be tradining him. I hope the Patriots are smart enought not to trade him for a 1st or 2nd. I will give them a third and a 2nd round swap....

I agree that the Pats should not trade any 1st for Brown. I am concerned now that Vrabel may be more willing to do that now as a way to change the affair discussion.

Maybe Howie thinks so too?

 

[stelfans]

No thanks. A 1st is just ridiculous, whatever year that is.

No thanks. A 1st is just ridiculous, whatever year that is.

I don't know how many times I shall have to say this . NO first round pick for AJ. Second that is the limit, but NO first

 

[Grogan14]

When you trade a future first, you do not know what you are trading. It could be 1 or 32.
That is inherently extremely risky. Eagles know exactly what they trading.

Chiefs or Rams know that a fiture first is likely 25-31. Much less risky for the rams

 

[40yrpatsfan]

A 2027 2nd, plus a conditional 2028 4th if he meets certain benchmarks.

 

[NormZauchin]

No thanks. A 1st is just ridiculous, whatever year that is.

2037?

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

That would be OK with me. I should be senile by then and won’t even realize we don’t have a first round pick
