New England Patriots Get: A.J. Brown
Philadelphia Eagles Get: 2026 first-round pick, 2026 third-round pick, 2027 third-round pick
It’s no secret that A.J. Brown had an up-and-down year with the Philadelphia Eagles. He had seven games in which he had fewer than 50 receiving yards and barely eclipsed the 1,000-yard mark.
He didn’t hesitate to air his frustrations with the offense either.
All of that drama could lead to a trade, as ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that league executives believe the Eagles could be looking to move Brown this offseason.
If so, there are plenty of teams that should be interested. Two of the most prominent ones are AFC East rivals in the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots. Both are contenders who could use Brown as their WR1.
That arms race could be a major offseason through line, but the Patriots have more resources to assemble the best offer for the Eagles receiver. With 11 draft picks and $54 million in cap space, New England could comfortably come up with a package that would put Brown in pass-heavy offense with ascending quarterback Drake Maye.
The move would put pressure on other AFC contenders to get aggressive to keep up with the Pats while shifting the Eagles offense in Philly.
