Overview
- NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports the Eagles want at least a first-round pick plus a second-round sweetener to even consider moving A.J. Brown.
- Teams have contacted Philadelphia, but multiple outlets say current proposals have not met the club’s threshold and the Eagles are comfortable keeping him.
- Cap mechanics loom large: a pre–June 1 trade would trigger more than $40 million in dead money (reported around $43.5 million), whereas a post–June 1 move would lessen the immediate hit but delay draft capital.
- Interest is real from receiver-needy teams — frequently cited suitors include the Bills and Patriots — though the price and contract absorption remain hurdles.
- Analysts continue to float scenarios, with some predicting a Buffalo push for Brown and others proposing alternatives like a DJ Moore trade if the price on Brown stays prohibitive; Brown is under a three-year, $96 million deal with a 2026 cap hit around $23.3 million and logged 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven TDs last season.
