Episode notes
Patriots Seen As Leading Destination For A.J. Brown
- The Patriots are the logical frontrunner for A.J. Brown but timing and cap mechanics make a post-June 1st deal most likely.
- Tony Massarotti and Jimmy Murray say Philadelphia will wait to minimize dead cap, leaving New England as the primary suitor unless another team jumps in.
Eagles Have Incentive To Move A.J. Brown But Will Wait
- The Eagles are likely to trade A.J. Brown eventually because his presence has become toxic and the team must manage cap concerns.
- Matt McCarthy and Tony Massarotti note the Eagles will wait for the best offer and the dead-cap relief after June 1 makes delay logical.
Patriots Must Be Willing To Absorb Brown's Contract
- If the Patriots want Brown they must be willing to pay or absorb his contract rather than expect a restructure.
- Hosts argue New England should be ready to eat guaranteed money or give meaningful draft compensation to finalize a trade.
