Eagles Keep A.J. Brown at Trade Deadline as Howie Roseman Reiterates Star's Value

Roseman said contenders do not trade elite captains during a championship push.

Overview

  • General manager Howie Roseman called Brown too important to the roster, pointing to his captaincy and impact while explaining the decision to keep him.
  • Philadelphia acted as a buyer, acquiring Jaelan Phillips, Jaire Alexander and Michael Carter II to bolster the defense before the deadline.
  • ESPN's Adam Schefter reported teams called about Brown but the Eagles were not going to move him, and he confirmed Brown was not dealt.
  • Brown has voiced frustration over usage this season and has 29 receptions for 395 yards and three touchdowns through seven games, below his usual output.
  • He missed Week 8 with a hamstring issue but is expected to return after the bye for the Week 10 matchup at Green Bay.
