Overview
- - Patriots EVP Eliot Wolf said there is no hard deadline to pursue upgrades and the team will explore options within salary-cap constraints.
- - ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Philadelphia would rather keep A.J. Brown and won’t move him without a fair return, and he characterized New England as “out right now,” though other reporters say interest remains.
- - Multiple outlets report the Eagles’ price is steep, frequently framed as a first- and second-round package, with Josina Anderson citing a 2027 first and 2026 second as an example.
- - Cap mechanics are pivotal: a pre–June 1 trade would cost Philadelphia over $43 million in dead money, dropping to about $16.4 million after June 1; NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo said Howie Roseman even explored a split deal spanning that date.
- - Denver has emerged as an exploratory suitor, with NFL Network’s Brian Baldinger describing at least some mutual interest, but no agreement has been reached.
