New England Patriots rumors: Eagles could explore Joe Thuney trade after losing Brandon Brooks for season (report)

The Eagles could explore a trade for Patriots guard Joe Thuney, according to a report from Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. Philadelphia recently lost Pro Bowl guard Brandon Brooks for the season due to a torn Achilles.

Thuney, 27, received the franchise tag after last season and is due to earn $14.78 million in 2020. Though the North Carolina State product was a second-team All-Pro in 2019, his high salary has led some to speculate that the Patriots could look to trade him before Week 1.

Breer thinks the Eagles could be a fit after losing Brooks.
