Tackle Isaiah Wynn celebrated the financial success of his former teammate Trent Brown, who agreed to terms on a four-year, $66 million deal with $36.75 million guaranteed with the Oakland Raiders, according to ESPN.
Wynn, who was in Brown’s position group with the New England Patriots for a season, was exuberant on Twitter after hearing the news on Brown’s deal, even if it meant his “big bro” was headed across the country.
In all likelihood, Browns departure for Oakland means that Wynn is the next man up in New England. With no one else on the roster at left tackle, Wynn will likely be charged with protecting Tom Brady’s blindside.
Of course, the Patriots have time to add players at the position with free agency, the draft and trade possibilities. But the Patriots selected Wynn in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, and may expect him to start in 2019.
