All of this smoke between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles feels very real, as it seems AJ Brown will be sent to New England during the summer months.

Reports now indicate that Brown will be traded by Philadelphia to New England after June 1, giving the Patriots one of the top wide receivers in the NFL and eliminating a headache in Philadelphia.

While it remains uncertain what Brown is going for on the market, and what the Patriots are going to send to Philadelphia, Adam Schefter had the latest on the situation and what Philadelphia is looking to receive after moving its star.

“And to be clear, the Eagles are also not concerned about adding draft capital for this week's draft; acquiring additional picks in 2027 and 2028 is even more enticing to them, per sources. Picks in future years were the compensation that was discussed when the Eagles and Rams had extensive trade conversations regarding Brown, which did not materialize into a deal. Since then, the Eagles have signed Hollywood Brown on March 17, signed Elijah Moore on March 24 and traded for Dontayvion Wicks on April 10. The added receiver depth gives the Eagles more flexibility.

“The Patriots remain at the forefront of trade talks for Brown. Another team could always emerge, and there's a lot of time between now and June 1. But as of now, multiple sources say they believe Brown will likely become a Patriot,” Adam Schefter of ESPN wrote.

It's interesting to hear that the Eagles are already looking ahead to the 2027 and 2028 NFL Draft, and that's really a testament to what Howie Roseman has been able to do as a general manager.

Roseman has done nothing but make the right decisions for the most part, and it seems like the scouting department already has a few names it is looking at in these upcoming drafts.
