"If the Eagles traded the receiver before June 1, they would absorb $43.5 million in dead money on their salary cap ($20.1 million more than his current cap charge). If they traded Brown after June 1, the dead money on their salary cap would be $16.353 million."
"That simple math highlights why any deal for Brown, with the Patriots a top suitor, wouldn't be finalized until June 1."
"New England could, for all we know, bring back [Stefon] Diggs, they could go sign some of the other wide receivers that are out there, they could draft a wide receiver."
The New England Patriots are in a waiting period regarding a potential trade for Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown. The trade's feasibility is hindered by Philadelphia's salary cap situation, which would incur significant dead money if Brown is traded before June 1. Reports suggest that any deal would likely not be completed until after this date. Additionally, the Patriots may explore other options, such as signing or drafting wide receivers, which could affect their pursuit of Brown.
