The New England Patriots are expected to acquire A.J Brown in the coming weeks, but one insider reports that Brown is not the only asset the team could be getting.
The Patriots are "likely" to acquire Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles after June 1. The fact that the Eagles drafted a wide receiver in the first round and that the Patriots did not draft a receiver only strengthens the belief that a trade is coming. It has long been believed that Brown will cost the Patriots a first-round pick, but according to Patriots insider Tom Curran, there could be something in addition to Brown coming to New England to dampen the cost for the Patriots.
"From what I’ve heard, this is a future first-rounder, but there could be something in return that would set it up so that it’s not as much for the New England Patriots to give," Curran said on Thursday.
The belief is that the Patriots will send a 2028 first-round pick to the Eagles. However, a first-round pick for a wide receiver, and a contract like Brown's, straight up, is a steep price. The Eagles' tacking on an extra draft pick or player would help the Patriots. However, the Eagles do not have to go out of their way to do that.
