The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to be without wide receiver AJ Brown for voluntary offseason workouts, which begin on Monday, according to NFL Networkâs Mike Garafolo.
A trade is likelier than ever, according to Yahoo Sportsâ Charles Robinson, but itâs still unlikely to happen before June 1, due to the salary-cap gymnastics involved.
The New England Patriots, who lack a No. 1 receiver despite signing Romeo Doubs in free agency, are expected to be the frontrunners. The Patriots also have not ruled out bringing in the 28-year-old wide receiver when asked about Brown this offseason. Brown spent his first three seasons with the Tennessee Titans under Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel.
The Brown trade saga began last season when Brown voiced frustration with his role and the offense on multiple social media platforms.
While Eagles general manager Howie Roseman and head coach Nick Sirianni tried to put the fire out by avoiding questions about Brown, their moves suggest a trade could be looming.
