Yes, it's official! A.J. Brown is a Patriot. The Eagles traded him to New England on June 1 for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick (from the A.J. Brown page). He passed his physical on June 2 and has already participated in OTAs.
He's reuniting with head coach Mike Vrabel, who coached him in Tennessee, and will pair with Romeo Doubs to give Drake Maye a serious receiving corps. The scheme fit is a big deal — the Patriots run heavy under-center play-action, which is exactly where Brown thrived in his Titans years.
On Underdog Fantasy Football, Josh & Hayden 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." —
The Fantasy Headliners added: "AJ Brown gets traded to the Patriots for a 2028 first. We have a long track record of Josh McDaniels getting a new shiny toy..." —
So no — he's not officially a Patriot, he is one. Welcome to New England, A.J. 🏈
