NFL - The Athletic on A.J. Brown
From the article
The Philadelphia Eagles are trading star receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots for a first-round pick in 2028 and a fifth-round pick in 2027... In New England, Brown will be reunited with Mike Vrabel, who coached him with the Titans from 2019 to 2021.
STACKED’s take
Traded to Patriots; reunites with Vrabel after down 2025 season.
Traded from Philadelphia Eagles to New England Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and 2027 fifth-round pick. Brown finished the 2025 season with 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games—his least productive season since joining the Eagles, with yards per game at his lowest since his rookie season with the Titans and yards per reception at a career-low 12.9, reflecting offensive struggles and personal frustrations. In New England, Brown reunites with Mike Vrabel, who coached him with the Titans from 2019–2021. The Patriots haven't had an outside receiver of Brown's caliber since Randy Moss left in 2010, positioning Brown as their No. 1 wide receiver and top target for quarterback Drake Maye.
