Patriots consider trading for Kayvon Thibodeaux after A.J. Brown deal
Summary

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.
