The Read: Brown landing in New England is a win-now upgrade, not a rebuild detour. The Patriots get a true alpha target for Drake Maye, and Brown gets a cleaner volume argument than the late-stage Eagles squeeze. He is not getting younger, but the dynasty case improves if New England treats him like the offense’s weekly pressure point instead of asking him to survive on hyper-efficient scraps.
