Insider Reveals How Mike Vrabel Scandal Has Impacted Patriots Trading For AJ Brown

The New England Patriots have been reportedly more likely to commerce for Philadelphia Eagles extensive receiver AJ Brown after June 1, and Adam Schefter not too long ago revealed how the current Mike Vrabel scandal impacts that.

Schefter appeared on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday and spoke in regards to the Patriots buying and selling for Brown. I’ve famous that it’s nonetheless probably that he leads to New England, and it’s only a matter of the 2 events coming collectively and finalizing the commerce after June 1. More importantly, I’ve confirmed that the current scandal surrounding Vrabel and the Patriots has not negatively impacted a commerce.

“There’s nothing that has transpired here, despite all of the events in New England, that has deterred this trade from coming up,” Schefter stated on Monday. “I still think it is on track. I still think it is going to happen. I still think it’s likely to involve a future 1, likely a 2028 first-round draft pick.”

When Schefter says “occasions in New England,” it is pretty clear what he is referring to. However, perhaps the biggest indicator of a Brown trade coming is actually what didn’t happen in New England. The Patriots did not add a wide receiver through the NFL Draft.

The team signed Romeo Doubs to replace Stefon Diggs, but that may not actually be enough to improve the receiving corps significantly. The wide receiver room could still use help, and the fact that the Patriots did not use a pick on a wide receiver is telling of the fact that they think they will be getting Brown next month.

Meanwhile, the Eagles traded up in the first round to select a wide receiver. All signs are pointing to Brown’s time with the Eagles coming to an end very soon.
