Overview
- Multiple reports say the Eagles plan a post–June 1 move for A.J. Brown to ease cap costs, with New England most often identified as the likely destination, though no agreement has been announced.
- The cap mechanics matter because a deal after June 1 splits the remaining dead money over two years, avoiding a hit reported at more than $40 million if done earlier and potentially freeing about $7 million in 2026 space.
- NFL reporter Jason La Canfora introduced the Jaguars as a possible suitor tied to their wideout concerns, but GM James Gladstone has publicly dismissed trade chatter involving receiver Brian Thomas Jr.
- The Chiefs and 49ers have also been floated as options, a wider market that could help Philadelphia push for a return built around future picks or a young player.
- Philadelphia’s offseason at receiver — adding Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, drafting Makai Lemon, and trading for Dontayvion Wicks — is read as preparation to move a disgruntled Brown who is seeking a fresh start.
