Patriots Weigh A.J. Brown Trade as Vrabel-Linked Speculation Persists

The New England Patriots are rumored to target A.J. Brown via trade to upgrade their offense, even though he’s under contract with the Eagles. With Nick Sirianni not guaranteeing Brown’s 2026 return and Vrabel praising Brown while hinting the team will explore trades and drafts, the potential reunion with former Titans coach Vrabel and QB Drake Maye hinges on compensation and fit, keeping the rumor mill active until a definitive move is made.

Vrabel: Patriots Will Explore All Upgrades, Including A.J. Brown

At the NFL Scouting Combine, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said New England will look at everything to improve the roster, keeping the door open to potential moves like trading for Eagles star A.J. Brown. Brown, who formerly played for Vrabel in Tennessee, has been productive but his 2025 numbers dipped, and any deal would depend on compensation and fit. Eagles GM Howie Roseman suggested you don’t improve by subtracting great players, so a Brown trade remains speculative as the draft approaches.

If the Patriots win Super Bowl LX, Mike Vrabel would become the fifth NFL head coach to win a title in his first season, but unlike the others he inherited a franchise that had fallen from its dynasty era. His first year would be viewed as the greatest turnaround in NFL history, given New England’s 2024 4-13 showing (and 2023 setback) and the challenge of restoring a team that had slid from its historic status.
