Overview
- A heated sideline exchange between A.J. Brown and Nick Sirianni was shown during the Wild Card loss to the 49ers, and Sirianni later downplayed any lasting rift while Brown did not address reporters.
- Spotrac projects that a pre-June 1 trade would trigger about $43.5 million in dead money and roughly a $20 million negative cap impact for Philadelphia.
- New reporting and projections spotlight New England as a possible destination, including a proposed package of a 2026 first- and third-round pick plus a 2027 third from Bleacher Report.
- Buffalo is also being pushed by analysts as a logical fit to pair Brown with Josh Allen, and separate speculation has floated Baltimore as a suitor built around a first-round pick.
- Brown is under a three-year, $96 million extension through 2029 and posted 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns this season, and the Eagles have not announced any intent to trade him.
