Howie Roseman Praises A.J. Brown, Declines to Shut Down Trade Questions

A noncommittal answer from Howie Roseman keeps trade chatter alive given steep short-term cap costs.

Overview

  • At the end-of-season press conference, Roseman called Brown a great player without giving a yes-or-no on entertaining trade offers.
  • Brown remains under contract through 2029, and no move has been made following the EaglesWild Card exit.
  • A pre–June 1 trade would trigger a $43,515,106 dead-cap hit in 2026, with a post–June 1 deal pushing part of that charge into 2027.
  • Financial analyses note potential long-term relief if Brown were dealt, including removing about $133.1 million in 2027–2029 cap charges and saving roughly $113 million in cash payouts.
  • Trade talk persists in media circles, with analysts such as Adam Schefter expecting Brown’s name to surface and speculating on suitors, as Jason Kelce urges the receiver to step away and reset after a visibly frustrating season.
