Even though the Philadelphia Eagles made a final decision on AJ Brown’s immediate future, the wide receiver continues to be a central piece of trade rumors. The New England Patriots look like the favorites to land him in a couple of months, but other teams could try to ruin their plans.

The Los Angeles Rams ruled themselves out of the race for Brown, leaving the door wide open for the AFC East team. New England signed Romeo Doubs in free agency, adding a new weapon after Stefon Diggs left.

On Thursday, fans saw a Patriots star putting in work with Brown.
