The New England Patriots have successfully acquired A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles, as confirmed on June 1, 2026. NFL insider Jeremy Fowler suggests that the Patriots may pursue a trade for Kayvon Thibodeaux from the New York Giants. Thibodeaux, a former fifth overall pick, could enhance the Patriots' edge rusher position, which is currently viewed as a weak spot. Patriots have already given up a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick for Brown, raising questions about their willingness to part with more draft capital for Thibodeaux, who is set to be a free agent after next season.
