Patriots Paid Premium for A.J. Brown

Four years after surrendering a first and third-round pick to acquire Brown from the Titans, the Eagles received a first and fifth-round pick in return when trading him to New England. During his tenure, the Eagles reached two Super Bowls, winning one championship.

The Eagles had significant leverage in negotiations because Brown specifically wanted to join the Patriots. With limited options and Brown's desire to play in New England known around the league, Philadelphia was able to extract considerable value, even though the Patriots could have potentially driven a harder bargain given the timing of the deal. michezonews.co.za
