The New England Patriots continue to show interest in trading for wide receiver AJ Brown

from the Philadelphia Eagles.

But team insiders say they won't pull the trigger unless the Eagles lower their asking

price first.

Earlier this week, while NFL reporter Jordan Schultz was filming with new Patriots safety

Kevin Byard, some big news broke about Christian Kirk.

Signing with the San Francisco 49ers, Byard interrupted to say he was hoping instead

to hear that Brown was headed to New England.

Byard knows the drill, having played with Brown on the Tennessee Titans undercoach Mike

Frable.

The two even worked out together recently, so a reunion makes sense to fans and players

alike.

The Patriots just added receiver Romeo Dubs to their roster, wrapping up a solid offseason

so far.

Still, Brown remains an elite talent who could take their passing game to the next level

if the deal happens.

For now, it's a waiting game as both sides watch the market with the Patriots holding

firm until the price feels right.
