Ty Law wants Patriots to trade for this All-Pro talent

The Patriots secured their greatest win of the post-Brady period on Sunday after defeating the Bills in Buffalo throughout a primetime matchup.

Drake Maye’s continued growth and the robust play as of late from Stefon Diggs has supplied hope {that a} once-stagnant New England offense unit can repeatedly land some punches in opposition to opposing defenses this fall.

But when the Patriots wish to actually capitalize in what’s trying like a wide-open AFC discipline this season, the case might be made that New England wants so as to add some reinforcements earlier than the Nov. 4 commerce deadline. 

One intriguing goal might be Eagles star wideout A.J. Brown, who has been disgruntled along with his position in Philadelphia’s offense to date this season. 

Regardless of his established monitor report as some of the productive receivers in current reminiscence, Brown’s involvement in Philly’s offense has waned as of late because the Eagles have shifted to extra of a ground-and-pound recreation behind Saquon Barkley and a cellular QB in Jalen Hurts. 

Brown, who has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in 5 of his six full seasons within the NFL, has solely reeled in 19 catches for 194 yards and one landing to date this 12 months. 

Brown has been candid about his dissatisfaction this season, with rumors about his viability as a prime commerce chip persevering with to swirl. Philadelphia did stress earlier this week that they haven’t any plans to deal away the 28-year-old receiver, though loads can change if Brown’s targets don’t rise. 

And if the Eagles change their tune or Brown himself asks for a commerce, former Patriots cornerback and Professional Soccer Corridor of Famer Ty Regulation believes that the Patriots must be the crew to come back calling. 

“Completely convey him,” Regulation stated throughout his newest look on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” earlier this week. “If you may get A.J. Brown and pair him with Stefon Diggs, convey him. A.J. Brown is aware of what he’s doing. He is aware of he simply bought that new contract assured, some huge cash. And in case you have a look at, it’s like, ‘Hey, each receiver desires the ball.’ So he’s not doing something that no different receiver would do in the identical place, you already know? 

“I imply, Keyshawn [Johnson] wrote a rattling guide about it. Come on, Simply Give Me the Rattling Ball. Now that’s going public. You already know, he making an attempt to jot down a greatest vendor about it. However that’s simply the receiver place, and he desires to really feel part of the sport. So if he’s not, he’s going to say one thing about it. Like I stated — he bought sufficient assured contract that he can say what he wanna say, and so they simply needed to cope with it.”

Becoming a member of a crew just like the Patriots could be presumably permit Brown to safe a hefty new contract in due time — be it with New England or in just a few seasons on the open market after he pumps up his stats as Maye’s prime goal.

Brown does have a number of ties to the Patriots, past the truth that he grew up a Patriots fan and “cried his eyes out” when Invoice Belichick and his employees took wideout N’Keal Harry over him with the thirty second choose within the 2019 NFL Draft. 

Brown additionally began his profession taking part in for Vrabel with the Titans in 2019 earlier than his need for a brand new contract prompted Tennessee to commerce him to the Eagles in April 2022. 

“No person wished to have [Brown] stroll out of [Tennessee],” Vrabel said in August 2025 on “Bussin’ With the Boys” about losing Brown. “It didn’t work out. It’s disappointing. The factor that I’m most happy with is the connection with him and the gamers that I’ve coached.”
