Howie Roseman Praises A.J. Brown, Doesn’t Rule Out Trade in Eagles Exit Presser

A trade would trigger roughly $43.5 million in 2026 dead money, making any move a costly bet on future savings.

Overview

  • At Thursday’s end-of-season news conference, Roseman called Brown “a great player” when asked about dealing him, offering no direct yes-or-no.
  • No transaction has been announced, with Roseman signaling openness to evaluate opportunities that could improve the roster.
  • A pre–June 1 trade would carry about $43.5 million in 2026 dead cap; using a post–June 1 designation would shift roughly $27.16 million of that hit to 2027.
  • Brown remains under contract through 2029 and is owed roughly $50 million over the next two seasons, after posting 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in 2025.
  • The discussion follows a season of visible frustration, including social-media comments, a sideline dispute and a meeting with owner Jeffrey Lurie, as the team moves on from OC Kevin Patullo and maps its offensive plan.
