A.J. Brown caused a stir in the NFL world with his social media actions on Thursday. Coincidentally, they came a few hours after New England Patriots' de facto general manager Eliot Wolf acknowledged the team's interest in adding a veteran wide receiver.
So, is there a connection there? Well, the Patriots have actually inquired with the Philadelphia Eagles about trading for Brown, Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reported Thursday. However, the Eagles have told teams they aren't trading the star wide receiver.
Of course, that probably won't quiet the rumor mill about Brown.
