Patriots balk at A.J. Brown price tag as trade talks swirl
The Patriots have discussed trading for Philadelphia's A.J. Brown but believe his asking price is too high. The Eagles could fetch a bigger return than the DK Metcalf deal, though Brown’s future with Philly remains unclear. New England’s interest is tied to head coach Mike Vrabel’s ties to Brown and the need for another top target for Drake Maye. Trading Brown before June 1 would cost the Eagles a $43.8 million dead cap hit but would save well over $100 million in future years, per Over The Cap.
