AJ Brown’s days with the Philadelphia Eagles may be numbered. The Super Bowl champs are reportedly concocting a trade proposal to send their star receiver to the New England Patriots.

Hosts of the WEEI Afternoon, a radio show dedicated to the Patriots, received a phone call. The caller revealed the Eagles are very interested in taking the fourth overall pick out of the Patriots’ hands in exchange for AJ Brown.

The caller claimed the Eagles are a big fan of Abdul Carter. Even though the Penn State pass rusher is projected to go third to the New York Giants, he might also slide down one spot to fourth.

If Abdul Carter were to fall to fourth… how would you feel about a certain team that recently won the Super Bowl calling up your New England Patriots in desperation and want of Abdul Carter and offering a certain wide receiver who has admitted that he loves New England and would love to play for the Patriots and possibly more selections in a blockbuster draft day [AJ Brown] trade?

Deciphering the name of the receiver isn’t that hard. AJ Brown loves the Patriots and grew up in an era when the Boston franchise dominated football.

The Philadelphia Eagles really really want Abdul Carter and that they would consider or rather are planning to call [your] New England Patriots on draft day if Carter falls to four to see if Mike Vrabel would like a reunion with AJ Brown and possibly more draft selections and compensations.

NFL fans are unhappy with the AJ Brown trade rumors

Brown didn’t have the best season last year. The Eagles ran the ball with Saquon Barkley at every chance, reducing the former second-rounder’s yardage through the air. He wasn’t thrilled about not seeing enough of the ball and seemed to be losing interest in the game by the end of the 2024 campaign.

On top of it, Brown has been showing off his Patriots jersey collection as of late. He received a Tom Brady jersey last month, and a few days ago, he unveiled a jersey from ex-Patriots WR Julian Edelman. This created a stir on the internet that Brown has a desire to join the Patriots.

Naturally, trade specialists went to work to figure out a scenario in which the Patriots could trade for the 27-year-old during the draft. Sleeper HQ’s Carlos A. Lopez proposed that the Eagles should send AJ Brown along with their 32nd pick in 2025 and a second-round pick in 2026 in return for the Patriots’ fourth pick in 2025 to draft Abdul Carter. The suggestion didn’t receive a good rating.

The proposal isn’t half bad for the Patriots. The only issue would be the monetary side of the deal. Otherwise, they get a Super Bowl winner and the 32nd pick on top of holding nine total picks in this year’s draft.
