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

A report indicating the Patriots are potentially in the market for this player, or have expressed or plant to express interest.
Alec pierce + Hendrickson + cade otton and no draft assets expended...

That's what you want.

Now draft your RT of future + edge player + TE with first 3 picks .

Diggs will prolly need to be cut .
Agreed.. but Pierce reminds me of Chris Hogan... you want Brian Thomas Jr.. draft a TE and see what Dippre can do this season...

Oweh or Mafi at edge.. while drafting another edge... I believe Diggs remains on a restructuring..

Agree RT in the draft while developing Bryant..

Pierce had 1000 yards this year
Thomas had 700
Hogan averaged 530 as a patriot
Patriots with hogan went to the SB 3 of 3 years and win 2.

Pierce >>>>> Thomas
Hogan might be > Thomas
 
Alec Pierce would be making a massive mistake re-signing with the Colts. He's going to get a lot of attention in FA.

His agent can spend a couple of day contacting other teams early next week.

You seem to believe that other team will pay a lot more than the colts.

His agent could test interest even in one day.
 
I understand the Eagles wanting a draft pick now, but I think they would prefer our next year’s #1. It’ll probably be higher than 31.

That is a better scenario for the Eagles, but not one I believe the Pats would take. That is the type of move you make to the remaining piece to get a team back to the Super Bowl. It would not do that for us. We need an online, safety, edge rusher, and then receiver.

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.

What’s not to like? Pierce seems like a bona fide WR1 only 26 years old entering his prime with no health risks. What are the downsides?
 
Id be comfortable giving pierce 25 mil a year
Fit would be perfect with maye. If pats could convince diggs to restructure move him to the slot. Boutte Z # 2. Thats a nice trio with mack and Kyle getting reps too. Chism learning slot from diggs. Demario would be # 7 or the odd man out. All you really need at WR right there.
 
I'd be very, very surprised if Pierce gets free from the Colts.

Really after is 1200yds Rookie season: strange take I'll take Thomas Jr 24/7 over Pierce who I like but not as much as Thomas Jr.

They didn't tag him, they tagged Daniel Jones instead. Free agency "legal tampering" (which is when the big ticket deals are effectively signed) starts on Monday. So they'd have to manage to extend Pierce in the next, what, 5 days? I have a hard time seeing that happening but it's possible.

Now, it could be that he hits free agency and Indianapolis is still the highest bidder, or their bid is close enough that he'd rather stay put, but I'm guessing other teams may entice him if he is able to start talking to them.

Not me this upcoming Draft is loaded with many Alec Pierce types.

Really? Seems like every year, the big potential free agents get re-signed just days before free agency begins. I think they tagged Jones because they're pretty sure they can re-sign Pierce. But maybe that's just me.

It does happen at times, teams get scared and up their offers at the last minute.

Right, who knows? I guess we'll see in a few days.

I feel the Colts could move on from Alec Pierce and not feel the loss as much. They have Pittman - Warren and Downs.: A Pierce only had 47 receptions Big plays and all; he's not really a move the chains guy. The Colts are not loaded with Draft picks becauise of that *Sauce Trade* But they could get a decent WR in either Rounds 2-3 and 4.

Which we have proven we cannot draft, over and over and over. If we did hit on him, he then has to develop. Alec Pierce has already proven he can play and is entering his prime. There is no difference between $25 and $30 mil with the cap going up as it does every year. Its monopoly money. The dude put up 1,003 yards on only 47 catches and he did it with ease catching the ball from Daniel Jones, Riley Leonard, Anthony Richardson, and Philip Rivers. Diggs is the first 1000 yard WR since Edelman in 2019. Diggs needed 85 catches to do it. Pierce had 38 less catches and 10 less yards than Diggs. Come on! This is the X we have been looking for. He is 25 years old and would match perfectly with Drake's cannon. He is 6-foot-3, 212-pounds. Do it.

You are forgetting the Jags have a really good Offense with emerging Players like... P Washington - B Strange is coming on and Young WR *Dyami Brown* had good Playoffs with Jayden Daniels while on the Commanders *another year in new system*. They might view Travis Hunter as a WR: they paid Draft picks for him. Plus they Traded for and extend old friend J Meyers: no room in the Inn for Thomas Jr. IF I was Vrabel I would be interested he's had success early on this level.

Agreed.. I believe he's a 20m a year WR... does he want to stay playing with Danny jones??...
