Overview
- Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported that several NFL executives believe the Eagles may explore trading A.J. Brown after the season.
- Nothing has been requested or agreed to, and there has been no in-season move involving Brown.
- Fowler outlined cap ramifications: roughly a $20 million hit if dealt before June 1, with potential cap savings if a trade occurs after that date.
- Brown is under a three-year, $96 million extension through 2029 and is owed about $50 million over the next two years.
- Despite expressing frustration with the passing game, Brown remains productive (64 catches, 840 yards, 7 TDs through 13 games), and multiple outlets say he would draw strong interest from teams such as the Bills, Ravens, Patriots, Packers and 49ers, with past Eagles precedent showing willingness to absorb dead money.
