Bleacher Report Labels A.J. Brown Eagles’ Most Overpaid Player

The critique hinges on a 2025 drop-off set against a contract that is expensive to unload.

Overview

  • Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report, whose team-by-team list posted Friday, named Brown the Eagles’ most overpaid player.
  • Brown’s 2025 line fell to 78 catches, 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns after three straight second-team All-Pro seasons from 2022 to 2024.
  • He carries top-tier pay at wide receiver, with a $32 million average salary and a $23.39 million cap charge for 2026.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter has noted the cap math that shapes any move, with a $43.44 million dead charge before June 1 dropping to $16.35 million after that date.
  • Trade talk has circulated without a deal, with reports floating teams like the Patriots and Rams while Brown remains under contract through 2029.
