Patriots, Eagles Pause Trade for A.J. Brown

0:00On April 20, Patriots and Eagles got a trade lined up to ship wide-out AJ. Brown to New England, but they're pausing until June 2 for salary cap maneuvers. Elliott Wolfe and Mike Rabel are set to make it official after the draft, grabbing a proven star to juice up their offense. The delay helps both squads big time. Eagles duck a $43,500,000 dead cap bomb this year, dropping it to $16,350,000. Dollars and freeing $7,000,000 plus in space, the rest hits in 2027. Patriots love it too, skipping any 2026 draft picks in the deal, so they can build fast around Ricky's stud, Drake May. Brown's no slouch either, posting 78 catches for 1,000 three yards and seven scores last season, still a lead production. New England's got $35,700,000 in cap room. Easy to swallow, Brown's big contract starting at 29. Million in 2026.

1:00They already signed Romeo Doves and have K-Shon Boot, Demario Douglas and others ready to roll. Once June hits, expect the papers to fly and pass fans to light up. This move arms May with real firepower heading into the grind. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story.
