Overview
- Multiple outlets report the Eagles are expected to move A.J. Brown after the draft on or after June 1, with New England viewed as the frontrunner.
- Trading before June 1 would add about $20 million to Philadelphia’s 2026 salary cap, creating a clear financial incentive to wait.
- Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer projects a return between the recent Stefon Diggs and Quinnen Williams deals, such as a distant first or a conditional second that can escalate.
- GM Howie Roseman continues to state Brown is on the roster, while CBS Sports reports sources say Brown has not tried to force a trade in public.
- If a move comes, Philadelphia could target a replacement wideout with the No. 23 pick, reflecting draft plans that anticipate a possible summer exit.
