NFL Trade Rumors: Mike Vrabel's Patriots urged to add $54 million ex-Chiefs wide receiver as Plan B in A.J. Brown scenario
The Patriots are strongly linked to a potential trade for A.J. Brown, with signs pointing toward a post–June 1 move. However, uncertainty remains, and a failed pursuit could force New England to explore alternatives. Tyreek Hill has emerged as a possible fallback option, bringing elite production but also injury concerns after a recent ACL tear. The contrast between Brown’s stability and Hill’s volatility highlights a key decision for the Patriots as they build around rookie quarterback Drake Maye.
