On June 2, 2026, the New England Patriots held OTAs at Gillette Stadium, where wide receiver A.J. Brown participated after being traded from the Philadelphia Eagles. Brown, entering his eighth NFL season, is viewed as a potential for an offense that struggled despite the strong performance of MVP runner-up Drake Maye. Last season, the Patriots' passing unit, while efficient, lacked key contributors at wide receiver, prompting the trade for Brown. He brings a strong track record, having achieved four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons and earning All-Pro honors.
