Eagles Tell Suitors A.J. Brown Isn’t Available ‘Now’ as Trade Deadline Nears

Philadelphia is targeting help at edge rusher and cornerback and faces cap hurdles that make an in-season deal unlikely.

Overview

  • Teams calling on A.J. Brown have been told by the Eagles they "aren't moving him now," according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini.
  • The front office is concentrating its deadline efforts on adding an edge rusher and a cornerback, multiple outlets report.
  • Brown’s early-season usage has been uneven, with 25 receptions for 274 yards and one touchdown through six games and reported friction with Jalen Hurts fueling chatter.
  • Under first-year coordinator Kevin Patullo, the offense ranks near the bottom of the league in total and passing yards as Philadelphia enters Week 7 on a two-game skid.
  • Brown’s 2024 extension and associated dead-money concerns reduce the feasibility of a midseason trade, though some reporting leaves open the possibility of reevaluating in the offseason if issues persist.
