It seems like every day we hear of the New England Patriots' interest in bringing in any player via trade this offseason.

For most, that means Philadelphia Eagles receiver A.J. Brown, as the Patriots have long been linked with the Eagles' weapon.

For most, a move post-June 1 seems like when a potential move will materialize, but that is predicated on the Patriots actually wanting to make a move. 

And Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf has just stoked the fires of a potential trade this offseason, whether that be for Brown or anyone else. 

"As far as players on other teams, again gonna keep the door open to anything that we think may improve our roster," Wolf said via NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe. "Whether that's with the player you mentioned or other players."

Will Patriots move for Brown?

It certainly feels that way, doesn't it?

As they say, where there's smoke, there's fire, and there's been a lot of Brown to the Patriots smoke this offseason. 

Of course, the Eagles have made it clear they want full value in return if they do move off the star receiver, but when teams know you are a seller, you will never get full price. 

Some expect a first-round pick to be enough to get a deal done, but it remains to be seen if the Patriots want to part ways with that sort of capital for an aging weapon.

Still, this feels like a when, not if, trade, and Wolf didn't exactly shut down the idea either.
