Patriots emerge as favorites to land Eagles star WR A.J. Brown in blockbuster trade

A.J. Brown is increasingly rumored to join the New England Patriots, with insiders believing a trade from the Philadelphia Eagles could happen around June 1. Philadelphia reportedly wants a 2027 first-round pick, while New England prefers offering a 2028 selection. The Patriots are viewed as Brown’s strongest landing spot due to their need for a No. 1 receiver and his strong connection with coach Mike Vrabel.
