Jones has a passion for aviation. He piloted his flight to Philly this a.m. from Charlotte.

Still haven't found the bottom of this TE draft class. There are going to be some useful guys still around late rounds/PFA.
I have more draftable TEs in this class than any other I've done.

Overall, the Patriots had very little turnover on Mike Vrabel's staff for a group that was just in the Super Bowl.
English
The Patriots announced Mike Vrabel's coaching staff. Of note:
-- Terrell Williams' new title is assistant head coach.
-- Thomas Brown remains passing game coordinator in addition to coaching TEs.
-- Charles London added as an offensive analyst.

After serious conversations with both the Rams and Patriots, the Eagles will not trade A.J. Brown at this time, according to multiple league sources.
Both teams remain interested, but no move is imminent. If a trade were to happen, it would likely heat up closer to June 1.

The same two teams, the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams, are making strong pushes to land Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown.
Nothing has been agreed to at this time as negotiations continue, but both teams continue to show heavy interest:

the best thing for Howie Roseman is obviously to have more than one team interested. Because it sure has felt like one team for a minute.

The Patriots aren't the only team interested in AJ Brown, per @DMRussini and @JourdanRodrigue. The Rams are also interested. Story: nytimes.com/athletic/71157…

@Optimist_Tech We’ll see. The Rams do still have the 13th overall pick thanks to their deal with Atlanta last year.
English
@ChadGraff So assuming the 1st round picks are off the table, which they are, it makes no sense for Howie to trade in conference for the same return, especially considering AJ wants NE.
This is just Howie using a reporter for leverage

The Patriots don’t seem to be the only remaining suitors for AJ Brown.

A.J. Brown trade discussions are not dead. Last week, I was told the Rams discussed trading for Eagles WR A.J. Brown before dealing for CB Trent McDuffie. Dialogue slowed, but Los Angeles continues to monitor the status of the three-time Pro Bowler with interest. We’ll see where both parties go from here.

Eagles GM Howie Roseman is juggling several cap decisions, including the future of TE Dallas Goedert. As @ZBerm noted, the void date on Goedert’s contract was pushed to today.
Clarity on A.J. Brown’s future could help shape several other roster decisions for Philly.
English
@ChadGraff Russini is literally always wrong, and the Eagles have already stated they're not trading in conference, especially to another super bowl contender
Silly clickbait report

Here’s what we learned from the Patriots today about AJ Brown, Maxx Crosby, and more. Story: nytimes.com/athletic/71128…

New Patriots guard Alijah Vera-Tucker said he expects to be 100 percent healthy and on the field in time for mandatory minicamp in June.
He’s rehabbing in California.

Romeo Doubs said joining the Patriots is “a great opportunity… with a great young quarterback in Drake.”
