Not quite, according to Eliot Wolf.

New England's executive vice president of player personnel was asked about the Brown rumors during a Monday interview with Kay Adams. The comments arrived amid swirling rumors identifying the Patriots as the likeliest trade destination for the Philadelphia Eagles receiver.

"A.J. Brown is a member of the Eagles, as Howie (Roseman) mentioned yesterday," Wolf said. "We haven’t had any conversations about anything regarding that in a long time."

Wolf was referencing recent remarks made by Roseman, Philly's general manager, who stated the obvious when asked about Brown on Sunday.

"I understand that there's interest in the A.J. Brown story. I, unfortunately, don't have a home under a rock," Roseman told reporters at the NFL owners meetings. "My answer to any question on A.J. Brown is A.J. Brown is a member of the Eagles ... Anything you ask me about A.J. Brown, I'm going to go right back to that answer. But I understand the interest. I put on TV and I see that there's interest, but my answer is A.J. Brown is a member of the Philadelphia Eagles."

Despite the best efforts of Wolf and Roseman, the Patriots-Brown rumors probably won't go away anytime soon.
