Teams have been busy improving their biggest weaknesses this offseason. This also includes the New England Patriots, who have made several changes on offense and defense.
One possibility that did not come to fruition is the AJ Brown trade. The Philadelphia Eagles are ready to trade the three-time Pro Bowl receiver, but general manager Howie Roseman won't just give up the former Super Bowl winner.
Meanwhile, the Patriots, who have moved on from Stefon Diggs and signed Romeo Doubs, may still want to make another significant change to their receiver room.
According to ESPN's Patriots insider Mike Reiss, New England is open to all possibilities that could improve their roster. This includes a trade for Brown, who has had six 1,000-yard seasons in seven years as a professional.
This was the response from Patriots general manager Eliot Wolf when asked about trading for Brown this offseason.
"We'll explore anything we think can help the team."
The question is, do Wolf and head coach Mike Vrabel believe Brown can help the team? The Browns have a cap hit of $23.3 million for 2026. He'll be the highest-paid receiver in New England, but he'll also be the best. The question is, is he worth the price? Not only will there be a price to pay for him, but there will also be a cost to trading for him, which may require them to part with a first-round pick.
