Report: Patriots, Eagles 'likely' have deal for WR A.J. Brown in June
ESPN says New England is the favorite to land the 28-year-old receiver, whose trade would ease Philadelphia’s cap hit by more than $20 million.
- On Monday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the New England Patriots are "tracking" to acquire Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown in a trade after June 1.
- Trading Brown before June 1 would result in a dead cap hit exceeding $40 million, whereas the Eagles save $7 million by waiting until after that date.
- Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel previously coached Brown with the Tennessee Titans, and New England seeks to improve its wide receiver depth chart after parting with Stefon Diggs.
- Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has consistently stated "A.J. Brown is a member of the Eagles," though reports indicate the team remains open to trading him.
- Conversations between the organizations are expected to resume shortly, with the Eagles particularly interested in acquiring additional draft picks in 2027 and 2028.
