A.J. Brown isn’t going anywhere this week. But his days as an Eagle are numbered

A.J. Brown isn’t getting traded on draft weekend. But the star wide receiver is still expected to be dealt by the Philadelphia Eagles in the coming weeks.

Brown being traded to the New England Patriots remains the “likely outcome,” according to a Monday morning report from ESPN insider Adam Schefter.

“An A.J. Brown trade to the Patriots is still on the table and still tracking to happen on or after June 1, per league sources,” Schefter wrote. “The two sides have discussed a deal, but neither has been willing to commit to it until after June 1, when Brown’s $40 million salary cap charge would be split between this and next year.

“All the elements remain in place to make it happen, and Brown to the Patriots is still the likely outcome ... just not during this week’s draft, per sources. Put the trade on hold just for now, but things will soon quickly warm back up. The Eagles remain open to trading Brown, the Patriots remain highly interested in acquiring the star receiver, and conversations are expected to resume shortly on or before June 1, probably culminating in a deal, per league sources.

“And to be clear, the Eagles are also not concerned about adding draft capital for this week’s draft; acquiring additional picks in 2027 and 2028 is even more enticing to them, per sources. Picks in future years were the compensation that was discussed when the Eagles and Rams had extensive trade conversations regarding Brown, which did not materialize into a deal.”

The Eagles are currently listed at +150 to win the NFC East for the 2026-27 NFL season over on
