3 Takeaways From Patriots' Trade For A.J. Brown With Eagles

After months of speculation, the Patriots landed A.J. Brown from the Eagles, giving New England the clear No. 1 receiver they’d been missing.
The Eagles appear ready to move on—DeVonta Smith is the new top target and the team added younger pass-catchers to improve depth and locker-room chemistry.
For the Patriots, Brown boosts Drake Maye’s ceiling and their Super Bowl hopes, but they still need offensive-line and roster fixes to truly contend.
