larrybrownsports.comThe Patriots received Brown in exchange for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick. The deal follows months of reported discussions between the teams. Brown had previously played for the Tennessee Titans before joining the Eagles in a 2022 trade.
Brown expanded his route usage while maintaining efficiency during his time with the Eagles. He averaged 2.8 yards per route run over three seasons with the Titans before the move. The trade occurred after Brown and the Titans could not agree on a contract extension. The Eagles signed Brown to a $25 million per year extension after he reportedly sought $22 million annually from Tennessee.
Brown joins the Patriots to play alongside quarterback Drake Maye. The team had been linked to the wide receiver in prior offseason reports. The Eagles receive draft compensation that can be used in future selections. The Patriots add an established wide receiver entering his fourth NFL season.
