Patriots targeted A.J. Brown with vision on maximizing Drake Maye rookie contract window
Why? Belief is A.J. fiery competitiveness is a strength. He’s happy & exactly where he wants to be. The bet on his knee lasting + being ideal WR1 for Maye
More for @nflnetwork The Insiders:
The Giants are “actively exploring” trades for DE Kayvon Thibodeaux, per @Connor_J_Hughes.
Those around the NFL have a hard time seeing him go for more than a fourth-round pick.
Thibodeaux could be a potential option for the #Patriots, who are firmly in the edge market.
This off-season has definitely been historic (1/2):
Myles Garrett -> Rams
Jared Verse -> Browns
AJ Brown -> Patriots
Dexter Lawrence -> Bengals
Trent McDuffie -> Rams
Jaylen Waddle -> Broncos
David Montgomery -> Texans
DJ Moore -> Bills
Jonathan Greenard -> Eagles
The #Patriots sit at $35.73M in cap space after the acquisition of WR A.J. Brown, per @patscap.
New England will more than likely restructure Brown’s deal, but they will still have plenty of room to make some moves if they choose to.
@ElChorizote1@0JAYSZN Don’t worry I remember the drops he had to force his way out of Philly😂
Regardless I appreciate the top 10 WR for a pick in a weak class. I hope y’all will find your answer at QB🫡
.@GregABedard weighs in on the price paid for A.J. Brown:
"I agree with the Patriots' valuation of A.J. Brown."
"Do I love it? No, but am I fine with it? And [do I] think that A.J. Brown was worth the risk and worth the investment? Yes, I do."
