Worst-kept trade "secret" in the NFL now officlal: A.J. Brown joins the Patriots; Eagles get draft picks
The Eagles agreed Monday to trade star wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Patriots for a first-round draft pick in 2028 and a 2027 fifth-round pick.
The fifth-round selection will be the better of New England's two picks in that round of next year's draft, sources told ESPN.
The trade, which has been discussed and anticipated across the NFL for months, reunites Brown and Patriots coach Mike Vrabel.
Brown, who turns 29 on June 30, gives Patriots quarterback Drake Maye a No. 1 target as part of a revamped top of the receiver depth chart alongside free agent signing Romeo Doubs.
