"“Don't know what the situation is there. I hope it can work. I hope he can come here and play for us.” Clearly, Byard isn't privy to the conversations behind the scenes, which makes sense. But, even though he doesn't know what's going on with the Brown situation, he still made it clear that he'd love to have him in New England."
"“Patriots S Kevin Byard said it would be "awesome" to play with A.J. Brown again, but he hasn't spoken to Brown about any sort of trade.” For those who may not know, Byard and Brown were brief teammates back during the 2023 season. The Eagles traded for Byard in October when they swooped him up from the Tennessee Titans. Byard would go on to play in 10 games for Philadelphia that season."
"Byard is a three-time All-Pro selection while Brown has made the All-Pro Second Team three times on his own. To add a couple of All Pros to this roster, in one offseason, would wind up making Eliot Wolf look like a magician. Byard led the league in interceptions last season while Brown finished with his sixth 1,000-yard season in seven years."
The Patriots’ pursuit of Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown remains ongoing and is expected to continue until after June 1. The team is coming off a Super Bowl appearance, making the addition of a Pro Bowl-caliber receiver a logical target. Newly signed safety Kevin Byard was asked about the possibility of adding Brown and said he hopes the situation works out and that he wants Brown to come play in New England. Byard indicated he has not spoken with Brown about any trade. Byard and Brown were brief teammates in 2023, when Byard played 10 games for Philadelphia after being acquired from the Titans. Both players have strong All-Pro credentials, and pairing them would significantly upgrade the roster.
