Overview
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter says the Eagles and Patriots are expected to revisit a deal around June 1, though neither side has committed yet.
- Schefter adds that a final price will likely include a future first-round pick, with 2028 as his guess for the selection.
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Brown wants a trade, has a cordial relationship with Philadelphia, and is not expected to take part in offseason workouts.
- Draft decisions pointed the same way, with Philadelphia trading up for USC’s Makai Lemon and New England leaving receiver unfilled after Cleveland took K.C. Concepcion.
- Teams favor early June because NFL rules let Philadelphia spread Brown’s remaining cap hit over two seasons, which softens the 2026 charge and makes a trade easier to fit.
