Patriots acquire A.J. Brown from Eagles to revive his career

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.
