It would be shocking if the Patriots and Eagles donāt pull off a trade for Brown. Philadelphia has loaded up on wide receivers while New Englandās lone addition to the room is Romeo Doubs. While Doubs projects to be a key piece in the Patriotsā offense, the team didnāt add a wide receiver in the 2026 NFL Draft. So, what could a trade package look like now?
The Patriots could send a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fourth-round pick to acquire Brown. While wide receiver Kayshon Boutte has been a popular add in trade packages, the Eagles donāt need to replace the superstar receiver. Instead, the two organizations could focus on draft capital.
It may not be the exact package that Philadelphia receives, as any third or fourth-round pick between 2027 and 2028 makes sense. However, if the Patriots send a 2028 first-round pick, it makes the rest of the trade package easier. After all, Brown is worth a first-round pick and the 2028 NFL Draft is two years away.
If New England finally pulls off the deal, Brown would join Doubs, Kyle Williams, Mack Hollins, Demario Douglas, and Elton Chism in the wide receiver room. This is a major upgrade over the 2025-26 NFL season, as Stefon Diggs served as the Patriotsā WR1. In this scenario, New England would have Diggsā replacement as the WR2 behind Brown.
The Patriots and Eagles likely have to wait one more month, but a Brown trade should be getting closer.
