NFL Insider Reports A.J. Brown Trade From Eagles to Patriots Before Adam Schefter, Ian Rapoport
Teams are finalizing terms as Philadelphia seeks about $20 million in cap savings and New England looks for a top target for Drake Maye.
- The Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots are moving toward finalizing a trade for wide receiver A.J. Brown on June 1, 2026, as the self-imposed target date has arrived after months of discussion.
- Waiting until June 1 allows the Eagles to save around $20 million in salary cap space by splitting Brown's $40 million charge between 2026 and 2027.
- ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Sunday that the sides are 'working on it,' with the Patriots remaining confident in reaching an agreement shortly after the salary cap window opens.
- Drafting Makai Lemon and adding playmakers like Dontayvion Wicks and Elijah Moore ensures quarterback Jalen Hurts has plenty of talent to target in 2026, even if Brown departs.
- Although multiple NFL executives believe the Eagles will land a 2028 first-round pick, some fans remain skeptical, with one user remarking 'Freakin joke he's a top 10 WR' regarding the compensation.
