Patriots Land A.J. Brown from Eagles

0:00It's April 27, NFL news today starts now, AI-powered and game-ready. I'm Cory with the story. Patriots fans, get ready for some big news on the trade front. ESPN Insider, Adam Schaefter, is reporting that New England is set to land wide receiver AJ Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles this summer. The deals expect it to cost the future first round draft pick and Schaefter's betting on the 2028 selection. Schaefter dropped this on the Pat McAfee Show Monday, saying it should wrap up around June 1st. Both teams are motivated, the Eagles are open to moving him, and the Patriots are all in. It's not a tough one to finalize, he says. Just needs the final details on that pick. The Pats need this bad after cutting their top receiver from last year, Stefan Diggs. They grab Romeo Dubs in free agency, but the passing game still lacks punch for young quarterback Drake May. Brown steps in as that proven alpha target. Even after a down year, the 28-year-old Brown is elite.

1:00He's got five straight 1000 yard seasons, 32 touchdowns over the last four years, and three pro bowl nods. He's younger and more dynamic than Diggs, ready to shine anywhere on the field. Pair him with Dubs as the number two, and New England's offense flips the script. And May gets his go-to guy, and the AFC East just got a whole lot.
