Overview
- Ian Rapoport reported the Rams looked into acquiring A.J. Brown but decided against it, while the Patriots remain engaged with the Eagles and the receiver.
- Rapoport said an Eagles trade now would accelerate about $40 million in dead money versus roughly $20 million after June 1, making a summer move more plausible and pushing any return to 2027 draft picks.
- Philadelphia re-signed tight end Dallas Goedert on a revised one-year, $7 million deal, which Rapoport noted removed any immediate pressure to act on a Brown trade.
- ProFootballTalk reported the Rams explored dealing Davante Adams while discussing Brown; Los Angeles then posted a throwback McVay–Adams video and paid Adams a fully guaranteed $6 million roster bonus, signaling he is likely staying.
- No agreement has been reached on Brown, and he remains on the Eagles’ roster with interest ongoing but at least one major suitor stepping back.
