Are Patriots going to be interested if A.J. is on the block? Is A.J. Brown staying put in Philadephia, or could he soon be on the move? Do you think NE made a call?
Transcript
00:00Comment about the A.J. Brown trade.
00:02I don't know if you guys heard it in your afternoon show yesterday,
00:04but Schefter was like, ain't no way the Eagles are trading him.
00:08He signed till, I think, next year, and, like, they're trying to go back-to-back.
00:13Highly doubt it.
00:14Kind of reminds me of Larry Fitzgerald back in the day.
00:17Pipe stream.
00:18Travis, I have a question for you, and I did hear the interview on the afternoon show.
00:22It was great.
00:23Do you remember what Adam Schefter said it would take for the Patriots to trade Jimmy Garoppolo?
00:27Uh, I don't remember.
00:30He said four number ones.
00:32He went for a number two.
00:33One.
00:33Second-round pick.
00:34So teams use Schefter, and I don't blame him.
00:36They use him as a mouthpiece to say that things are impossible to attain
00:40so that they raise their asking price and other teams pay it.
00:43That's how he gets information, and I love him.
00:45He makes lots of money, and he's good at what he does.
00:47Curtis, you are suggesting it is a crafty negotiation by these teams to leak to Adam Schefter.
00:53I mean, he literally said multiple times on ESPN in front of the world into a microphone
00:58that it would take four number one picks for the Patriots to trade Jimmy Garoppolo,
01:02and they traded him for a second-round pick.
01:04He definitely could be driving up the price, but it just, I don't know.
01:07If I'm 6-2 leading my division and trying to go back-to-back for a Super Bowl title,
01:12I'm probably not trading A.J. Brown.
01:13Well, I get rid of anybody at that point.
01:15Unless he is making it so difficult there that it's disrupting the vibe, then, I mean, I...
01:26But wasn't the Patriots dynasty sort of predicated upon really talented guys
01:29that no longer help the team being traded and the team still winning?
01:32Yes.
01:33So, like, couldn't that be what the Eagles are doing?
01:35Yeah, especially if the Eagles feel like, oh, we can win without A.J. Brown.
01:39They basically have.
01:40You know, they feel like maybe Saquon is the guy.
01:42We get Saquon going.
01:43We still got Devontae Smith.
01:47Like, our defense is really good.
01:49Like, they could be looking at...
01:50We got the tush push.
01:51Yeah, yeah, they could be looking at it like, you know, A.J. Brown.
01:55Does that mean something different with Lindsey and you, or no?
01:58They could be like, A.J. Brown's a great player.
02:00He's a good player, but we can win without him.
02:03I mean, it's...
02:03He's more of a headache than what it's worth.
02:07And maybe he gets in the way of us maybe winning a championship.
02:11I mean, maybe that's the approach that they look at.
02:14You know, like the Max Crosby thing, I get it.
02:17Maybe Max loves being in Vegas.
02:19He just loves the vibe.
02:20He loves the organization, so he's willing to ride it out.
02:23You know, and I could see that with Max Crosby.
02:26Miles Garrett, I mean, it seems like he wants to win,
02:29but he chose to go back there for that type of money.
02:32A text from Western Massachusetts, 413 text on the Subaru of New England text line.
02:38A.J. Brown has a crazy cap hit.
02:41They want to move him.
02:42I don't know what the cap hit is.
02:44It doesn't matter.
02:45Curtis says the cap.
02:47It's also more, the number that actually matters is the dead cap money
02:50because that's the money that the team has paid him, basically.
02:54So it says dead cap hit 90 million.
