US EditionPatriots head coach Mike Vrabel asked about potential trade for A.J. Brown
Patriots coach Mike Vrabel confirmed they will evaluate a potential trade for Eagles receiver A.J. Brown, considering compensation and salary cap implications during the NFL Combine.
- On Wednesday at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged his relationship with A.J. Brown but declined to confirm roster moves, saying the team will evaluate options.
- Because New England needs receiver help and is still planning its offseason, A.J. Brown's name surfaced due to his three seasons with the Tennessee Titans and current contract with the Philadelphia Eagles.
- Speaking about Brown personally, Vrabel said they keep in touch and are proud of his character as a father and husband, supporting each other beyond football.

- Looking toward March and April, the Patriots have over $42 million in cap space and face deadlines for Stefon Diggs’ guarantee and pretrial hearing, Vrabel said they will let play out.
