The big day in the A.J. Brown saga is inching closer and closer. A trade involving the Philadelphia Eagles’ star wide receiver could be coming soon, as June 1 has been viewed as a key date in the Brown sweepstakes. As trade rumors about Brown have persisted this offseason, some insiders have said they believe a deal after June 1 is more likely due to the cap hit the Eagles would take from dealing him. Brown’s four-year stint with the Eagles (2022-25) has come against the backdrop of the three-time Pro Bowler publicly complaining about his role in the team’s offense and rampant speculation about his relationship (or lack thereof) with quarterback Jalen Hurts.Just last season, Brown told fans to “get rid” of him if they have him on their fantasy football team and that playing “Madden NFL 26” is the only way to find “highlights” of him.

If the Patriots were to acquire Brown, he and Doubs would be expected to be quarterback Drake Maye’s top targets. “It’s good to see Romeo out there,” Vrabel said. “It was good to see some of the new faces. It was also a great day to see guys that maybe didn’t get as many opportunities last year, especially Romeo, who wasn’t on our team.”Even if New England does not land Brown this summer, the team is expected to increase opportunities for its younger receivers. Both Kyle Williams and Efton Chism are in line for more reps during organized team activities (OTAs), especially with Kayshon Boutte not currently in attendance.”It was good…
