Schefter: Patriots to Trade for Brown, First-Round Pick in 2028?

0:00It's April 28th. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. ESPN insider Adam Schefter dropped his prediction on a potential trade sending Eagles wide-out AJ Brown to the Patriots. He figures it'll cost New England a future first-round pick, likely from the 2028 draft, wrapping up around June 1st. That date matters big time for Philly, clearing over 40 million in dead cap space if they pull the trigger then. Schefter laid it out on The Pat McAfee Show, saying both sides wanted done and it won't drag on. The Eagles beefed up their receiver room after grabbing rookie McCoy Lemon in the first round of the 2026 draft. They also inked vets like Elijah Moore, Marquis Hollywood Brown, and Dante Vian Wix, easing the sting of any Brown exit. Meanwhile, The Pat skipped wide receivers entirely in the draft, leaving a clear hole they might fill with this splashy move. All signs point to action soon, but the real debate boils down to whether Boston coughs up their first rounder, or settles for a second, either way, this.
