The New England Patriots traded two draft picks to acquire A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles on June 2, 2026. Brown’s performance has declined in recent years, with a drop in receiving yards and a low average of 12.9 yards per catch last season. He is reuniting with Mike Vrabel and set to play with quarterback Drake Maye, who was last year's NFL MVP runner-up. The Patriots are hopeful that Brown can bounce back this season under offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, known for improving receiver performance in their first year together.
