Overview

• Sports Illustrated reported that multiple teams are watching A.J. Brown’s status, and a high‑end AFC executive expects his name to surface in trade conversations before the Nov. 4 deadline, though no such talks have occurred yet.
• The Eagles have conveyed that Brown’s volatility is part of the package and, for now, they intend to keep him as they work through offensive issues during a 4–2 start.
• Brown’s production has dipped to 25 receptions for 274 yards and one touchdown through six games, a downturn feeding outside speculation about his future.
• Any deal would be complicated by his contract — including a fully guaranteed 2026 salary reported at about $29 million — and concerns about a chronic knee, factors that could depress Philadelphia’s return.
• Media analyses have proposed hypothetical destinations such as the Steelers, Patriots and Colts — including a Steelers package of Pat Freiermuth, Alex Highsmith and a pick — but no reports indicate active negotiations between teams.
