The calendar has officially flipped to June, meaning the Eagles will likely trade wide receiver A.J. Brown in the coming days.
After Philadelphia coach Nick Sirianni told reporters in late February that he “can’t guarantee” Brown will be with the organization this coming season, speculation about where the three-time Pro Bowler could play next quickly intensified. The Patriots have long been considered the most obvious landing spot—a move that would reunite Brown with head coach Mike Vrabel, whom he played under with the Titans from 2019 to ’21. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reported Monday that a Eagles-Patriots trade falling through at this point would be “a pretty big upset.” The two sides have the framework in place for a deal, with the final details still needing to be ironed out.
