The 2026 NFL Draft begins on Thursday, but many New England Patriots fans are preoccupied with the Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini controversy and the possible trade for Philadelphia Eagles star wideout A.J. Brown, presumably coming in June.

Greg Bedard of the Boston Sports Journal recently revealed what New England could offer Philadelphia in a deal for Brown and Patriots insider Chad Graff did the same on Thursday.

The senior writer for The Athletic named three players that New England could potentially send to the Eagles to acquire Brown. He then laid out a possible trade package.

"In a potential Brown trade to the Patriots, the Eagles would almost certainly want a wide receiver in return. Based on ability and contract situations, that leaves three options: Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas and (Kayshon) Boutte," Graff said. "So here’s a potential trade package that has been floated by league sources for June: Brown for Boutte and a future second-round pick, potentially with conditions that could turn the pick into a first-rounder if Brown hits certain performance metrics."

Philadelphia's three-time Pro Bowl pass-catcher has been linked to the Patriots for months.

With wideout Kayshon Boutte recently skipping the start of New England's voluntary workouts, he's put himself at the center of the Patriots-A.J. Brown trade rumors.
