After months of chatter and speculation and rumors, the calendar has finally flipped to June. That's good news for those waiting for an update on one of the NFL's biggest names this offseason.Welcome to June 1, everybody. The New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles are now squarely in position to make a deal for wide receiver A.J. Brown. Now that today has hit, Brown's dead cap hit would only cost the Eagles $16 million, a far cry from the $43.5 million it would have been just one day prior.So where are we know, and how soon can we expect a deal to happen? Some of the latest updates include that both sides have a "framework" set for a trade, and some insiders are reporting that a 2028 first round pick will be on the move from New England to Philadelphia in return.On paper, Brown would become the top passing target in New England's offense. With Drake Maye on a rookie deal for at least three more seasons, it's smart for the Patriots to put their cards down, slide their chips into the center of the table and go all-in on last year's surprising success.They replaced Stefon Diggs with Romeo Doubs this offseason, retooled their offensive line to help keep their quarterback upright, and now all their missing is the former Mike Vrabel receiver who grew up a fan of the Patriots.Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel congratulates wide receiver A.J. Brown (11) on his touchdown during the second quarter at Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday, Oct. 31, 2021 in Indianapolis, Ind.
