Introduction

The Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots may change their players. A.J. Brown might move to a new team.

Main Body

A.J. Brown may leave the Philadelphia Eagles. If he leaves, a new player named Makai Lemon will play more. Mike Clay says Lemon will catch many balls and score five touchdowns. The New England Patriots want A.J. Brown. He will help their quarterback, Drake Maye. Maye is a very good player. He throws the ball well. New England also has new players on the line. These players protect Drake Maye. However, other teams will still hit Maye many times. Maye will also run with the ball more.
