"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."
"... 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."
"The picks getting sent over to Philly would be a 2026 first-rounder, a 2026 third-rounder, and a 2027 third-rounder."
New England reached Super Bowl LX in 2025 with second-year quarterback Drake Maye taking a major leap and nearly earning league MVP recognition. The offense performed well overall but lacked sufficient weapons to secure a championship, creating offseason priorities for general manager Eliot Wolf. Offensive-line upgrades are needed and additional pass-catching talent is required for Maye. A trade package would send a 2026 first-rounder, a 2026 third-rounder, and a 2027 third-rounder to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for A.J. Brown. Brown produced an inconsistent season with seven games under 50 yards and just over 1,000 receiving yards, and he publicly expressed frustrations. New England has draft capital and cap space to pursue Brown, a move that would pressure AFC rivals and alter Philadelphia's offense while prompting some fan concern about off-field drama.
