Overview
- At the league meetings Sunday, GM Howie Roseman repeated that “A.J. Brown is a member of the Eagles” when pressed about trade rumors.
- Patriots executive Eliot Wolf said Monday they have not had conversations about a Brown trade “in a long time,” and Rams GM Les Snead said earlier talks with Philadelphia “didn’t work out.”
- Head coach Mike Vrabel declined to address a specific Brown deal and said the Patriots will try every path to strengthen the roster through free agency, the draft, and other moves.
- Trading Brown after June 1 would cut Philadelphia’s dead money from more than $40 million to about $20 million, which helps explain reports of a wait-and-see approach and an asking price starting at a first- and second-round pick.
- Nick Sirianni confirmed joint preseason practices with New England in Foxborough, setting up on‑field time between the clubs even if Brown remains with the Eagles.
