Overview
- At the end-of-season news conference on Jan. 15, Howie Roseman declined to give a yes-or-no on trading A.J. Brown and echoed his November stance that Brown is a rare, high-end talent.
- Brown remains under contract through 2029 following a 2024 extension, and no trade activity has been reported.
- A pre-June 1 trade would create about $43.5 million in 2026 dead money, versus roughly a $23.4 million cap hit if he stays, while a move could wipe about $133.1 million in 2027–29 cap charges and save around $113 million in cash, per Spotrac/PhillyVoice.
- The wideout posted 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in 2025, then drew scrutiny for multiple drops and a sideline exchange with Nick Sirianni in the Wild Card loss.
- Reporters expect his name to surface in offseason talks, with teams like the Patriots mentioned speculatively, and analyses suggest the Eagles would listen only for an exceptional offer.
