# Did the Patriots trade for A.J. Brown?

**Yes, the Patriots absolutely traded for A.J. Brown.** The deal went down on **June 1, 2026** — the Eagles sent Brown to New England for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder (from the A.J. Brown page).

The trade reunites Brown with **head coach Mike Vrabel**, who coached him for his first three seasons in Tennessee. Brown joins Romeo Doubs to give QB Drake Maye a loaded receiving corps.

**Josh & Hayden from Underdog Fantasy** broke it down: *"It finally happened. AJ Brown is a New England Patriot. Let's talk through the details because that is the last thing that we finally needed here as it is June 1st."* [hear the clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9atdNlsUhJw&t=3s)

**The Fantasy Headliners** added: *"Back on April 30th, it was reported that AJ Brown would be traded to the New England Patriots on June 1st. And we've sat and we've waited…"* [hear the clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ucndc63Rc-I&t=2s)

In short — a done deal. Brown is WR1 in New England, and his play-action connection with Maye (the league's best on those throws) is one of the most exciting fantasy storylines of 2026.
