A.J. Brown to the Patriots

About this episode

Brian discusses the Patriots' trade for A.J. Brown and its implications for the upcoming season.

Brian reacts to the Patriots trading a couple of draft picks for star wideout A.J. Brown, and why that shows that the Pats are all in for this coming season (0:00). He compares the trade with other blockbuster moves, including a recent one that put a Boston team over the top (30:30). Brian and Jamie end with some final thoughts on the Brown trade and touch upon the recent Boston Globe article detailing some of the problems with Craig Breslow and the Red Sox’s front office (37:15).
