Overview
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter said Monday the Eagles plan to move A.J. Brown on or after June 1, and that sources expect New England to be the destination.
- Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, asked Tuesday if a deal was done, said no and reiterated the team is focused on this week’s draft.
- The post–June 1 date matters because it lets Philadelphia split roughly $40 million in dead money over 2026 and 2027 instead of taking the full hit at once.
- Price remains unsettled, with FOX’s Jay Glazer reporting Wednesday the Patriots are not ready to send a future first-rounder as others, including Schefter, have suggested.
- Tension points linger around the player and rosters, with Brown skipping voluntary workouts in Philadelphia and New England weighing receiver moves such as Kayshon Boutte’s status as talks restart after the draft.
