New England Patriots fans are pushing for the team to trade for star receiver AJ Brown to bolster its offense. The Patriots need to add some weapons for quarterback Drake Maye in 2025 and going forward.

The Patriots made their first big move of the offseason by hiring Mike Vrabel as their head coach. After the team hired Vrabel, fans called for the team to reunite Vrabel and Brown, who played under the coach with the Tennessee Titans.

"Bring him home," a fan wrote.

"Reuniting AJ Brown with Vrabel and he finally gets to play for the patriots," a fan added.

Brown will enter the second year of his three-year $96 million deal with the Eagles in 2025. However, he could opt into another three years of the deal which would take him through 2029.

"I would much rather have AJ Brown than Tee Higgins," a fan added.
"You knew he grew up a Pats fan right," a fan wrote.

Brown grew up a Patriots fan and says he was crushed when New England didn't take him in the draft, so perhaps he would welcome a trade.

"In what world, planet or ecosystem, existence are we gonna get AJ Brown," a fan added.
"Hopefully we can get him," a fan wrote.

Brown recorded 67 receptions for 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns with the Eagles in 2024.

Despite growing up in Mississippi, AJ Brown grew up a New England Patriots fan.

In the 2019 NFL Draft, Brown thought he would New England would take him, and when they didn't he said he cried.

"I just knew I was going to the Patriots, because I was a big Patriots fan," Brown said, via SI. "I got a phone call and I was like 'This is it.' But it wasn't it, it was my agent. And he was like 'Just sit tight.' And I'm like 'OK.' He was like 'They finna take a receiver.' And I'm like 'OK, cool, bet.' I just saw that the time just kept going down on the Patriots clock."
"And I was like 'Uhh, they tripping. I don't know what the hell is going on.' So they end up picking, it said the pick was in. I know I ain't got a phone call by now. So I'm like 'This s*** is over.' So I told my brother, I told D, I said 'Bro, let's go.' And I left everybody at the house and went home. I went in the closet and cried my eyes out. I swear," Brown added.

New England drafted cornerback Joejuan Williams just six picks before Brown went.
