A.J. Brown Stays Put, Patriots Trade Rumors Persist

0:00On April 20th, Philadelphia Eagle Star Y receiver AJ Brown stays put for now, no trade, before this week's NFL draft. But ESPN's Adam Schefters says a deal to the New England Patriots remains very much in play, just not until after June 1st. That timing helps the Eagles big time, splitting Brown's $40 million cap hit between this year and next, freeing a major space right when they needed. Rumors have swirled all offseason about Brown heading to New England, fueled by his tight bond with Coach Mike Frabel, his lifelong fandom, and uh... Pat's desperate hunt for a true number one receiver. League sources confirm the teams have talked it out, but both sides are holding off until post June 1st to maximize that cap relief. It's all lining. Up, though nothing's locked yet. Eyes stay glued to the draft for any shakes, but if plans hold, Drake May gets his top weapon. Transforming that Patriots offense comes summer.
