Vrabel Eyes Brown Trade for 2026 Super Bowl Run

On April 3rd, Patriots head coach Mike Raeble is eyeing a big move for the 2026 season,

aiming to pair wide receiver AJ Brown with quarterback Drake Mayn.

After signing Romeo Dobbs to a $17 million per year deal,

League execs still expect New England to trade for Brown from Philadelphia.

The key is timing, with the deal likely happening in June,

once the Eagle salary cap situation clears up.

Dobbs contract ranks 27th among receivers,

but opinions split on whether he truly boosts the position.

Some execs praised Dobbs as talented but inconsistent,

best used in one role only.

Others call him no upgrade over Stefan Diggs on the field,

just less drama off it.

Right now, the Patriots receiver room looks thin,

with Dobbs leading, Keishan Bhutay at number two, and Mac Collins behind.

They missed chances for DJ Moore and Alec Pierce earlier.

To contend for a Super Bowl run, New England needs a lead production from at least one wide out,

and this potential Brown trade could be the spark to.

Make it happen.
