PATRIOTS NEWS OFFICIAL: Patriots Finally Acquire AJ Brown

[Le Numéro Douze]

Good news. Let's win the whole ****ing thing now.

 

[mike_usagisan]

I hope we see him at OTAs tomorrow.

 

[ScottishPatriots]

A 1 and a 5th?

That's if you don't win the Superbowl you have up way too much territory.

We have 2 x 5th round picks anyway and really who cares about the 5th rounder.

The trade can only be judged after the next 2 seasons, especially 2027 for this trade to be good the Patriots have to be a playoff team in 2027 if we're giving them a pick in the top half of the draft it's a disaster.

2 playoff seasons and it's a win.

Now Italian pat patriot can go to bed

 

[borisman]

We should have been getting back a fourth, not sending out a fifth to that filthy franchise. **** Howie Roseman and his greed. His time will come.

 

[Wozzy]

Just glad it’s over…

They may get another pick back for Boutte.

If AJB has a great 2027 and/or the Patriots win a championship then yeah nobody will GAF about that 2028 first.

I think because no one else was in the bidding war with us, you would think we could have negotiated a better deal…. Oh well, hopefully he becomes an offensive force here and becomes a great patriot…

 

[manxman2601]

it’s almost worth the 2028 first just to put that saga to bed.

 

[hornetfb85]

Let the whining and *****ing commence over what is likely a late first round pick for a guy that does nothing but produce.

 

[scott99]

Now get his ass in here asap to learn the playbook and be at the OTAs

 

[Brady85-23]

I hope his knees hold up

 

[italian pat patriot]

Now Italian pat patriot can go to bed

They closed the deal in due time
Grazie

 

[stcjones]

I could care less about the fifth rounder… It’s the first round of it is potentially devastating… Like everyone says all depends on what AJ Brown does this year and next

 

[Drunken Cicerone]

MASSIVE for Maye's development. How can you not love this?

Some people think first round picks are god tier level untouchable

I am convinced most of America doesn’t understand the word greed.
There is no such thing as greed in making a trade. The parties came to an agreement on value. Greed would be screwing up the deal because you want more than the other guy is will to pay.

 

[Hugepatsfan]

The 5th rounder is irrelevant to me, pretty much a throw in for Howies ego.

It's hard to completely judge the trade right now but if the Patriots are a playoff team in the next 2 years this is a great trade, if the Patriots have a bad 2027 or Drake gets hurt and the Eagles are picking in the top 12 somehow in 2028 that would look like a brutal trade.

We have 2 x 5th rounders anyway one from Bradbury trade so we still have a 5th in next years draft.

If Drake gets hurt in 2027 and that's the reason we're picking high and we lose out on the pick, that sucks but not sure I'd really be too bothered by that if AJ Brown is a legit player for us. It'd suck to miss out on the "opportunity" of picking high due to that injury, but that's also just bad luck. If AJ Brown is a legit piece reasonably worth a 1st rounder for us, I think you have to be ok with that. Can't NOT make moves to help the team because Maye could get hurt.

 

[stcjones]

I hope his knees hold up

This entire trade is pending a physical, of course… They will do their due diligence in regards to his knees….. but I agree with you. He has had issues with degenerative changes in one of his knees and also repetitive hamstring injuries and actually had scar tissue removed I think from his hamstring at one point it was that significant.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Fair. People are going to sit here and lose sleep over a 5th but this is better than giving up the farm for Waddle.

At least Waddle has two healthy knees. That sort of thing is important for a WR.

 

[Bradyking12]

Very strong chance at going back to the Super Bowl this season.
