AJ Brown might be heading to the New England Patriots, but not immediately. Former Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman dropped a big hint amid reports of the AFC champs being interested in the 28-year-old Eagles star.
New England, the Super Bowl runner-ups, are well-suited for the trade. Reports indicate that the Eagles are waiting till June 1 to make a final deal. If Brown is let go before that, the Patriots would be up for a $43 million dead cap hit this season. Philadelphia would incur a $16 million in dead cap.
Speculation around the AJ Brown trade has taken on a life of its own, and this time, a social media post from a former Patriots icon has added fuel to the fire. Julian Edelman shared a short clip featuring Brown from an earlier episode of the Dudes on Dudes podcast, where Brown reacts with a subtle wink when asked if he plans to join the New England Patriots.
The Patriots and Eagles are engaged in a staring contest, with the expectation that they'll eventually come to terms on a deal. However, it's also possible another team will swoop in.
