00:00Elliot, the dream here in New England is that Mike Vrabel is reunited with A.J. Brown.
00:05Is that dream dead?
00:07Yes, I don't think, look, and I'll start by saying this, and I'll say this. I've followed
00:12Tom Curran for a really long time, and I have a ton of respect for him. So I just, as someone that
00:18does cover the team and is here in Philadelphia, I just strongly, strongly disagree. And I certainly
00:23wouldn't characterize it as reasonable. I think that the, I guess the best comparison I would give
00:28is, like, is acquiring Drake May reasonable? Like, yeah, if a team calls and offers the Patriots four
00:34first-round picks or three first-round picks, of course, I think every player in the NFL, besides
00:38maybe Mahomes and Josh Allen, like, has a price tag. But the Eagles are not looking to trade A.J.
00:44Brown. They're certainly not shopping him around, and they want to keep A.J. Brown. The cap
00:49implications that it sounds like Eagles fans have tried to educate, you know, you guys on are real.
00:55Like, if they trade, well, sorry, go ahead, Scott. Well, I was going to say, I would have the cap
00:59implications way down my list. Like, what I would have at the top of the list is they just won the
01:03Super Bowl. Why would you want to upset the apple cart? The cap implications, I, honestly, I wouldn't
01:07get too lost in the weeds on that. But you mentioned three or four, you mentioned three or four
01:10first-round picks. What about the number four pick? If the Patriots called and offered the Eagles the
01:17number four pick for A.J. Brown, like, would they talk about it internally? Maybe. But I don't think
01:24ultimately they would trade A.J. Brown for just the number four pick. So I agree with you that the
01:30cap implications are not the main reason they wouldn't trade A.J. Brown. But the reason I bring
01:34it up is because if it does happen before June 1st, the Eagles would lose, like, over 50 percent
01:40of their cap space, which is a lot, especially when you have to pay your rookie class and all
01:44that. So if, like, in a world where you guys want to keep dreaming it'll happen, I think you're
01:50after June 1st. I love a good internet rumor. I'm happy to talk about it. I just, I don't think
01:57Patriots fans should be hoping or realistically, like, I think Key Higgins would even be, honestly,
02:03more reasonable than A.J. Brown would be. I think Chris Godwin would be more reasonable than A.J.
02:07Brown would be. I think the price for acquiring A.J. Brown is going to be so high that I wouldn't
02:12consider it reasonable.
