A.J. Brown in 'Awe' to Join Childhood Favorite Patriots, Declines to Discuss End of Time with Eagles
Brown joined New England’s offense with limited 11-on-11 work as coach Mike Vrabel said the trade gives the Patriots multiple weapons.
- On Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles traded star wide receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots, reuniting him with head coach Mike Vrabel after three seasons in Tennessee.
- Vrabel said the deal stalled initially before reaching the finishing line, aiming to improve the team's offense following the departure of receiver Stefon Diggs in March.
- Brown said his knee isn't an issue, noting he has missed only one game from a knee shot in four years despite durability concerns.
- Less than 24 hours after the trade, Brown participated in limited 11-on-11 snaps with quarterback Drake Maye, adding renewed optimism to the offense.
- Meanwhile, cornerback Christian Gonzalez's status remains uncertain as the Patriots negotiate his long-term extension, which includes a fifth-year option worth over $18 million.
