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

[TommyD4207]

Roseman's been fleecing and taking advantage of teams for quite a while. We are obviously next.

Nothing can be announced until 4:01 pm today.

Please God let the madness stop.

Actually it can be announced that there is a deal in place, but the NFL doesn't like that so they make it clear to teams that they want them to wait.

People are making waaayyy too much about Brown’s knee issues. He’s only missed 8 games in 7 seasons, he’s a professional who’s taken care of his body, whatever treatment/regimen he’s been receiving is most certainly top tier (given his Pro-Bowl/All-Pro status) & lastly…if Vrabel feels comfortable with it, that’s all that matters. Especially, considering Vrabel’s notorious detestation of soft tissue injuries. I’d honestly, be a bit more concerned about the hamstring injuries. Yes, **** happens, but we need to take risks sometimes if we want to win another championship. Scared money don’t make no money…Guys…we’re literally about to acquire an All-Pro WR in his prime. Relax..Have a coke & a smile….

Oh yeah? You’ll see how big of an issue the knees are, once the Ravens swoop in and give up 2 first round picks, and then return him with a failed physical!

Horrendous deal. 2 years of Brown for a 1st in any year is stupid. Unless they are getting a 3rd back.

Diggs had over 1000yds at age 32... AJB > Diggs.

Diggs had an ACL, not a degenerative chronic knee needing drainage often.

If we trade that 1st round pick and its in the top 10 then the AJ trade would be a complete disaster.

So never make a trade with a high pick because something bad could happen? You can't run a team out of fear. There are times vs when you aren't ready to make a deal like this, when you aren't in contention, and there are times when you need a piece to get over the top, so you take your shot. Any time you draft a player or trade for a player you are gambling on their success. If you are good at your job you come out ahead on those gambles more than losing on them. If you suck at your job you lose more than you win. IMO this front office has shown repeatedly that they know what they are doing, and taking this shot will give them their best shot at winning Lombardi's over the next few years.

He'll be alright AJB will appreciate his change of scenery.

If they are still negotiating details but the parameters are set, then it isn't likely a straight first for Brown. It is likely a conditional pick that they are negotiating the terms and the milestones.

Get Howie to throw in Cooper DeJean and he can have that 2028 1st without conditions.

I don't have access to his medicals, but the reports of him having to have his knee repeatedly drained during the season so as to allow him to play conjures memories of Edelman's final season. He carries a significant injury risk that could limit his effectiveness and availability.

I'm not opposed to trading for him but only if the price properly accounts for the risks.

Fair…we’ll soon find out the parameters of the deal.

Major overreaction. 2 years of brown will likely out produce whatever late first round pick we would have.
