  "account": "The Eagles and Patriots both made poor choices in trading for A.J. Brown, according to a re-evaluation of the 2026 offseason move. For the Eagles, Brown's presence was sorely needed, but he struggled to make an impact in just two games, leading to a disappointing stretch of three consecutive losses. Meanwhile, the Patriots received a valuable draft pick, but the acquisition of Brown did not translate to offensive success. With Drake Maye breaking out of his slump without Brown, the Patriots' offense operated well without his presence. The Patriots' grade has been revised from an A to a D, reflecting the lack of value in the trade beyond the draft capital.",
  "summary": "Turns out A.J. Brown playing in New England has been just as bad as him not playing in Philadelphia.",
