Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel was asked about the possibility of upgrading the team's wide receiver room on Wednesday. Vrabel did not take the bait on the leading question about Brown.
"We want to continue to improve the roster in every opportunity that we can," Vrabel said, per ESPN's Mike Reiss. "When those opportunities arise, I don't know. I know that the guys that we have here are working extremely hard. I would say that yesterday's first OTA was much better than last year's."
New England is widely believed to have a deal in place to acquire Brown after June 1st . If Philadelphia waits until after June 1st, they can split Brown's dead cap hit between two seasons. That should make a potential trade much for palatable from a salary cap perspective for the Eagles.
If the Patriots did end up landing Brown, it could change the complexion of their entire offense.

Brown would immediately become a WR1, which would make Romeo Doubs a secondary option. Everyone else on the depth chart would move down one spot too.
Multiple Patriots players have expressed an interest in trading for Brown . Patriots fans would certainly appreciate their team making a big move like that.
Now it is just a matter of waiting until after June 1st and seeing whether or not New England makes their move.
