The New England Patriots are reportedly closing in on a major trade for AJ Brown, with discussions between the Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles becoming increasingly serious.
Insider Tom E. Curran believes a future first-round pick would be the centerpiece of the deal, which could become official once the league calendar reaches June.
The Patriots are aiming to give their quarterback a true deep threat, and fans in New England are eager for significant roster upgrades.
However, the Green Bay Packers might try to hijack the Patriots' trade plans, with analyst Simon Hunter suggesting they are also in the mix for the star receiver.
Most reports still indicate the Patriots are the frontrunners for A.J. Brown, who would be the most impactful receiver New England has had since Randy Moss.
