WORCESTER, Mass — June has finally arrived, and that means the New England Patriots could very well soon know the fate of the A.J. Brown trade rumors.
And with that, it includes the players, who, along with the public, have not been able to hide from the rumors circulating for weeks now. That includes wide receiver DeMario Douglas and running back Rhamondre Stevenson, who were both asked about it at Drake and Ann Michael Maye's first annual MayeDay Foundation Celebrity Softball game.
“If he comes, that would be amazing,” Douglas said. “Good guy. I follow him on Instagram to see what he does. He’s a ballplayer.”
Stevenson agreed, adding what they would do to help improve the offense.
“I think he’d do a lot. He’s a great player, obviously. One of the best receivers in the league,” Stevenson said. “That’s above what we do. I just leave it up to the front office. I know they’re going to get people here that will help us win.”
The expectation has been that Brown will be a member of the Patriots before the season begins, with the trade happening after the Eagles could have a lesser salary-cap penalty. And with that, most believe that New England will have to give Philadelphia a first-round pick to acquire the Super Bowl champion.
It's clear the players would welcome him to the room as he brings a lot of talent and experience. So now that the day has finally come, we'll have to see if the deal goes through.
