The New England Patriots have emerged as the clear frontrunners in trade discussions for Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown, according to multiple sources. Per reports, league insiders currently believe that Brown and the Patriots are likely to become a tandem as negotiations continue to move forward.
While the Patriots remain at the forefront of these trade talks as of today, the situation remains fluid. Sources indicate that there is still a significant amount of time between now and the June 1 deadline, and another team could potentially emerge as a suitor for the Pro Bowl receiver. Despite the possibility of outside competition, the momentum currently favors a deal between Philadelphia and New England.
A.J. Brown has been a centerpiece of the Eagles roster, and a move to the Patriots would represent a major addition to the New England offense. No official trade has been finalized or announced by either team at this time.
