\ud83d\udea8 PATRIOTS STILL IN ON A.J. BROWN? SCHRAGER SUGGESTS THEY\u2019RE NOT DONE ADDING WEAPONS FOR DRAKE MAYE<\/strong> \ud83d\udc47<\/p>\n

The New England Patriots<\/strong> have already made moves to help Drake Maye<\/strong>, their promising young quarterback, by bringing in Romeo Doubs<\/strong> this offseason. Doubs, a talented wide receiver, is expected to provide much-needed support to Maye as the team looks to build its offense around the former top draft pick. However, does this move signal the end of the Patriots\u2019 efforts to bolster Maye\u2019s weapons? Are they officially out of the race for A.J. Brown<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

According to Peter Schrager<\/strong>, the answer might be no.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show<\/strong>, Schrager made an intriguing statement that has Patriots fans buzzing. While the news of Doubs<\/strong> joining the Patriots broke, Schrager dropped a bombshell, hinting that New England<\/strong> might not be done adding more talent to their roster. \u201cI don\u2019t think they are done. I still expect them to be in the A.J. Brown market,\u201d Schrager said, fueling speculation that the Patriots might still be in the running for the star wide receiver.<\/p>\n

NFL insider Cameron Wolfe<\/strong> quickly doubled down on Schrager\u2019s assertion, confirming that the addition of Romeo Doubs<\/strong> does not end New England’s interest in a potential trade for A.J. Brown<\/strong>. Wolfe made it clear that while the Patriots\u2019 need for a wide receiver<\/strong> may not be as urgent as it once was, the team still has significant interest in Brown, despite the potential high price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cRomeo Doubs signing with Patriots DOES NOT end their interest in trading for A.J. Brown,\u201d<\/strong> Wolfe tweeted. He added that while the Patriots’ receiver needs may have shifted with the acquisition of Doubs, the interest in Brown remains strong. Wolfe also acknowledged the possibility that a deal for Brown may not come to fruition due to the high cost<\/strong> but emphasized that the Patriots \u201cstill love A.J.\u201d<\/p>\n

Could A.J. Brown Be the Missing Piece for the Patriots?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If these rumors prove true, it would be a massive move for the Patriots<\/strong>. After struggling to provide adequate weapons for Drake Maye<\/strong> during his first two seasons, this could be the year they finally give him the support he needs to reach the next level. In 2025<\/strong>, despite not having a strong supporting cast, Maye still managed to lead the Patriots<\/strong> to the Super Bowl<\/strong>, and nearly won league MVP<\/strong>. Just imagine what he could do with a wide receiver like A.J. Brown<\/strong> in his arsenal.<\/p>\n

While A.J. Brown<\/strong> had some drama during his time with the Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong>, there\u2019s no denying his talent. Despite some off-field distractions and the Eagles’ struggles in 2025, Brown still finished the season with over 1,000 yards receiving<\/strong> and seven touchdowns<\/strong>. A player of his caliber could make a huge impact on Maye\u2019s third season, providing the type of weaponry that could elevate New England’s offense to new heights.<\/p>\n

A Big Swing for the Patriots<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Source:<\/p>\n

For the Patriots<\/strong>, a trade for Brown would represent a significant move to get back into contention for the Super Bowl<\/strong>. With Drake Maye<\/strong> at the helm, the team is clearly focused on building its offense around him. Acquiring a proven star like A.J. Brown<\/strong> would be one of the biggest swings the team could make.<\/p>\n

Brown<\/strong> would immediately become the Patriots\u2019 WR1<\/strong>, a clear favorite target for Maye. His presence on the field would not only improve the team\u2019s passing game but also help make Maye\u2019s job easier, providing him with a true No. 1 wide receiver. If the goal is to give Maye the tools he needs to succeed and reach his full potential, why not go all in and acquire one of the NFL\u2019s most dynamic wide receivers?<\/p>\n

The Patriots have the cap space<\/strong> and draft capital<\/strong> to make such a deal happen, and trading for A.J. Brown<\/strong> could be the key to their offensive revival. With Mac Jones<\/strong> (who is expected to be the backup to Maye) also looking for an opportunity to shine, adding a weapon like Brown would provide the Patriots offense with a much-needed boost. The Patriots have not had a standout wide receiver in recent years, but A.J. Brown<\/strong> could change that.<\/p>\n

The Price of Bringing Brown to New England<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While the possibility of a trade for A.J. Brown<\/strong> is exciting, the price tag remains a significant factor. With his established success in the NFL, Brown is likely to demand a high price, both in terms of draft picks and salary. This could make it difficult for the Patriots<\/strong> to strike a deal unless they are willing to part with valuable assets. However, Peter Schrager<\/strong> and Cameron Wolfe<\/strong> both seem to suggest that the Patriots are still actively pursuing Brown, which indicates they may be willing to make the necessary moves to bring him on board.<\/p>\n

Adding Romeo Doubs<\/strong> was an important step in improving the team\u2019s receiving corps, but A.J. Brown<\/strong> would be a game-changer for the Patriots. Having both Doubs and Brown on the roster would provide Drake Maye<\/strong> with an elite set of weapons to help him reach his full potential.<\/p>\n

The Future of the Patriots’ Offense<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Patriots’<\/strong> plans for Drake Maye<\/strong> and their offense in 2026<\/strong> are beginning to take shape. Romeo Doubs<\/strong> is already a solid addition, but adding A.J. Brown<\/strong> to the mix could turn the Patriots’ offense into a powerhouse. Maye, with his immense talent and leadership abilities, has the potential to be the face of the franchise for years to come, and with the right pieces around him, there\u2019s no limit to what he could accomplish.<\/p>\n

If the Patriots<\/strong> can land A.J. Brown<\/strong>, they\u2019ll have created a potent offense that can compete with the league\u2019s best. Not only would it bolster the team\u2019s passing attack, but it would also send a message to the rest of the NFL that New England is serious about getting back to the top of the league.<\/p>\n

In the coming days and weeks, all eyes will be on the Patriots<\/strong> to see if they can pull off a deal for A.J. Brown<\/strong>. With Maye leading the way and potentially one of the NFL’s top wide receivers by his side, the Patriots’ offense could become a force to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n
