Overview
- Former Patriots receiver Julian Edelman shared a podcast GIF of A.J. Brown winking, which many fans took as a hint of movement toward New England.
- New England is widely viewed as the lead suitor, though recent reporting characterizes talks with the Eagles as a stalemate.
- Philadelphia’s cap math points to waiting, with a pre–June 2 trade triggering roughly $43 million in dead money versus about $16 million after June 1.
- Because post–June 1 trades can’t include 2026 draft assets, any package would likely rely on 2027 and potentially 2028 picks as the Eagles seek a premium return.
- An unverified social-media claim alleged a post–June 1 agreement to be announced June 2, but no team has confirmed such a deal.
