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.
Sure. However what people are failing to acknowledge is that it’s infinitely easier to build having a rookie contract QB. If you’re wasting your time developing Chism instead of getting an answer to contending in 26-27 then you’re wasting a great opportunity.

Douglas is solid but replaceable
Imagine if the Patriots had Legit #1 or #2 WR or a Apha TE *Gronk lite* we have neither. It's hard to gauge a guy when he playing behind guys who are marginally better. The Patriots Need a #1 whether at TE or WR: we need that guy to make our role player better Diggs is NOT! that Guy.
Almost 1300 yards and 10 TDs as a rookie is not a so-so year.
I was talking about last season and towards the negative nancies about him.
 
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 Trade 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.
So you are telling me all of those guys are better than Thomas so I should want Thomas? If strange and brown are beating him out why would we want him?
 
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.
Drake Maye throwing to the highest yard per catch guy in the league is an exciting prospect
 
They can’t stop him.
Yeah, but it does raise the question of what the Colts are doing that they either don’t care about losing him or assume they can get him in FA.

Yep. They know him best, right now. And they’re showing what they think of him and how they value him by the moves they’re making.
 
I'd rather sign Pierce than AJ Brown. Much younger, ascending, great character.
Pierce is hitting the FA market - asking $24M/yr. x 4 (according to Lazar)
He's so much more worthwhile than another unknown risk of a draft pick.

Pierce (X), Boutte (X, Z), Diggs (Z, Slot), Williams (Z), Hollins (X, Y), Chism (Slot)

Pop is gone. Jiles & Webb on PS. Potential 3rd/4th round flyer on WR
I had a suspicion, but now that Diggs is gone, Pierce or Doubs makes a ton of sense. AJ is too risky and expensive.
Williams may given a shot to compete for a legit Z role.
We may even draft another WR - I just hope not in the top 2 rounds.
 
I would too. A bit risky but pierce is still ascending and you pair him with arguably the best deep ball thrower in the league. He could really take off here. Plus brown isn’t coming without risk too
Agree..Pierce would be just cap dollars Philly is seeking a haul for AJ wich they won't get... Vrabel's seemingly priority the draft capital and cap dollars by realease of Stef..
 
Yeah, but it does raise the question of what the Colts are doing that they either don’t care about losing him or assume they can get him in FA.
They can’t force him to sign. Would you sign with Daniel Jones on a 1 year deal as your Qb or pick from the 31 other teams?
He is probably excited to escape.

Right, but Grigson is a decent GM. Good GMs don’t typically have two guys they have to tag. It just seems odd how much they screwed this up. Then again, it’s the Colts, so I like seeing it.
 
Whoever their GM is, he also made that ill-advised trade deadline trade with the Jete.

Not impressed with his body of work.
Yeah that trade was to pricey. They might have no QB and no picks for the next few years.

Disagree. What this means is they made a stupid decision to franchise or transition tag Daniel Jones instead of Pierce. Simple as that. The Giants made a similar decision with Barkley and Jones and lost Barkley. I think the same thing will happen with Pierce. Pierce is a perfect fit for Drake. It would be an immediate upgrade to the WR room replacing Diggs with Pierce. I for one hope it happens and I think there is a very good chance that it will.
 
Curran said Patriots are going to be hell bent on getting Brown or Pierce to replace Diggs.

Well this is how it should be. Id rather Brown because of the track record but Pierce is an upgrade over anyone they have.

Brown’s track record as a problem child is concerning. Pierce’s track record is more encouraging imo.

This is really simple. If Piece wants to come, then he'll be here.
 
Pats
Raiders
Bills
Jets
Chefs will all be in on Pierce.
