The Philadelphia Eagles all but confirmed last week that they're going to move on from wide receiver AJ Brown. The Eagles will have to decide what they're hoping to get for him, but barring something drastic, everybody seems to believe he'll be sent to the New England Patriots.
The only question is what the Eagles will get back for him in this deal, and recent moves could be good indications of what's to come. Perhaps the latest one, Jaylen Waddle being traded to the Denver Broncos from the Miami Dolphins, could be the blueprint for this Eagles front office.
“But it's hard to imagine the Patriots paying such a heavy price for Brown, even considering his history playing for coach Mike Vrabel in Tennessee, in part because they don't seem to be competing against another suitor and the 2027 draft projects to be much stronger than 2026. Another possible comparison is the Bills trading Stefon Diggs and fifth- and sixth-round picks to the Houston Texans in 2023 for a second-round selection. Diggs was 30 at the time, with four Pro Bowl berths.
“But would that be enough for the Eagles to trade Brown? Or would they insist on a first-round pick, even if it's conditional on Brown's performance, or comes as late as 2028? The Eagles could point to earlier this year when the Miami Dolphins received a first-round pick (30), third-rounder and fourth-rounder in exchange for receiver Jaylen Waddle and a fourth-rounder as a fairer price,” Mike Reiss of ESPN .
