Analyst Floats A.J. Brown Trades to Chargers and Titans

Any move would likely wait until after June 1 to ease the Eagles’ salary-cap hit.

Overview

  • NFL.com analyst Matt Okada floated new trade ideas for A.J. Brown as proposals, not reports of ongoing talks.
  • One pitch sends Brown and a 2027 fourth-round pick to the Chargers for their 2026 first-rounder at No. 22 and receiver Quentin Johnston, with the fit tied to new coordinator Mike McDaniel’s scheme and the team’s ample cap space.
  • Another proposal sends Brown back to the Titans along with Philadelphia’s 2026 fifth-rounder in exchange for Tennessee’s 2026 second at No. 35 and a 2027 first, which is allowed because the NFL’s two-year re-acquisition limit has expired.
  • Philadelphia’s cap math steers the timing, with an estimated $43.44 million dead charge before June 1 dropping to about $16.35 million after that date, which points to a summer window for any deal.
  • Brown remains under contract with the Eagles after a 2025 dip to 78 catches and a career-low 12.9 yards per grab just over 1,000 yards, as the team adds Marquise Brown and Elijah Moore and outside chatter continues to link suitors such as the Patriots and Rams.
