We could throw in Grogan...
Alec Pierce is likely to command 25 per year and although I think he’s a good wr he’s yet to become a wr1. 30 mil is the going rate nowadays.
Our 2026 is 31. We will likely be picking in llw 20s next year. Giving them this years pick is preferable
????!
They can just keep him as far as I’m concerned.
If you have a trade agreed for Brown and a contract agreed with Pierce, I tend to agree with you and go with Pierce. Just for the age and the draft asset you don’t have to give up.
The Pats are leveraging Alec Pierce against Philly. “If you don’t send us Brown for a reasonable price now, we’ll just pay Pierce and move on.”
This is the reasoning why I think if Brown gets traded to NE it’ll be before Monday.
It’s reasonable. 31st pick for Brown is also reasonable. They need to upgrade the weapons for Drake Maye, he’s not Brady in the sense of he can take guys around him in year 3 and make them better, it has to be the weapons helping him to be better.
You have no idea what you are talking about. Philly can't take our 2026 pick without triggering a massive $43 million dead cap hit. There is no way around it.
I disagree. If the player doesn’t want to be there they need to make it worth it to them to take that massive cap hit. Hence the first round pick. I feel the problem here as fans is that we were always spoiled to have Brady create weapons out of nowhere so they never really needed to invest in an offensive playmaker via trade other than Moss. This is kind of different. So would Philly take a 40 million dollar cap hit to get a 1st? Probably. But for a 3rd or 5th or whatever then no it wouldn’t make any sense.
I guess we are passing because A.J. Brown will be 29 at seasons end: not exactly spring chicken territory. So Alec Peirce it is.
The Eagles locker room needs to be straightened out if they are going back to competing for Super Bowls. In spite of his obvious talent, Brown needs to go at all costs if there is going to be a culture reset. Until Maye has matured to the point where he is comfortable holding the other players accountable to meet HIS expectations over and above the coaching, I don't think the Pats are ready for a head case receiver. I had the same feeling about Diggs so who knows how Brown would act with this team under a coach he respects.
