Star wide receiver A.J. Brown is expected to be traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the New England Patriots around June 1. Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas expressed positive feelings about Brown potentially joining the team, which could improve the Patriots' chances of returning to the Super Bowl.

The trade to the Patriots is expected soon, after June 1.
DeMario Douglas, a Patriots receiver, said Brown is a good player and person.

The Washington Commanders plan to change their offensive strategy in 2026 to better protect quarterback Jayden Daniels, who was injured multiple times last season. They replaced their offensive coordinator with David Blough, who will have Daniels take more plays from under center, which means standing directly behind the center to start a play, helping him avoid hits.
Key Facts
Jayden Daniels missed over half the 2023 season due to several injuries, including knee, hamstring, and elbow problems.
The Commanders ended their relationship with former offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.
David Blough, previously an assistant quarterbacks coach, is the new offensive coordinator.
Daniels will take more snaps from under center, meaning he starts plays standing right behind the center instead of the shotgun position.
Taking more snaps under center can help protect Daniels by giving him more time behind his offensive line.
The previous offensive style involved many plays where Daniels rolled out, making him more vulnerable to hits.
Head coach Dan Quinn wants to keep Daniels healthier and avoid career-shortening injuries.
Fans are hopeful that these changes will help Daniels stay healthy and improve the team's performance.
