A.J. Brown News
Tuesday, March 31, 10:24 AM
New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel didn't rule out the possibility of the team trading for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown, according to Mike Reiss of ESPN. "We've talked about this since last January. We're going to try to do everything we can to strengthen our roster through the draft, through free agency, multiple ways of player acquisition," Vrabel said at the NFL's annual meeting. The Eagles continue to say that Brown remains a member of the team, but the Eagles are financially incentivized to wait until June 1 to trade the Pro Bowl wideout. The Eagles will take a dead-cap hit of more than $40 million if they trade Brown before then, compared to around $20 million after June 1. The Pats released Stefon Diggs in early March and then signed Romeo Doubs in free agency, but apparently, they are still serious about adding Brown, who would immediately become quarterback Drake Maye's top target in the passing game. Brown played for Vrabel with the Titans from 2019 to 2021. The 28-year-old had his sixth 1,000-yard season in 2025 with the Eagles, but he was clearly upset with the direction of the offense. A move to New England to work with one of the best young QBs in the game could invigorate Brown.

Ricky Pearsall News
Tuesday, March 31, 5:54 AM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall entered this offseason as a candidate for more targets with Jauan Jennings and Brandon Aiyuk both expected to depart. However, the 49ers' rather unexpected decision to sign Mike Evans has left Pearsall right back where he started this offseason: in the No. 2 receiver role. Operating in that same role last season, Pearsall caught 36 passes for 528 yards and zero touchdowns across nine games. He never played in more than four consecutive games due to injury, and he was held to fewer than five catches in two-thirds of his contests. All in all, Pearsall likely projects best as a No. 2 receiver, so we're not surprised to see that the 49ers signed a new No. 1. Still, it certainly limits Pearsall's floor and ceiling. Plus, it's not just Evans who will steal volume from Pearsall. Tight end George Kittle (Achilles) will fetch a boatload of targets when healthy, and running back Christian McCaffrey remains the centerpiece of this offense. There's not a lot of momentum behind Pearsall's name in dynasty fantasy football, so it's tough to sell high on him at this point. Managers are better off holding him and trading him at his peak value if Evans misses time due to injury.
