"The start of draft week has been filled with plenty of rumors surrounding what appears to be an inevitable trade between the Patriots and the Eagles for wide receiver AJ Brown. The teams have been connected all offseason, and now that a deal is inching closer, speculation has heated up even more, with NFL insiders suggesting a deal is nearly (unofficially) reached."
"Although the workouts are voluntary, who attends and who doesn't is always a story for every team, particularly involving players on the brink of an extension or those who might be looking for a trade. Because Brown is in that situation, his absence sends a clear message that he is unlikely to return to the Eagles in 2026."
"Despite GM Howie Roseman and head coach Nick Sirianni's insistence that Brown would remain with the Eagles and that they want him there, their free-agency moves, which included signing a handful of receivers and even trading for others, suggest a different direction."
Rumors indicate a trade between the Patriots and Eagles for wide receiver AJ Brown is nearing completion. NFL insiders suggest a deal will not be official until June 1, when Brown's dead cap can be managed more effectively. His absence from the Eagles' offseason workouts signals a likely departure from Philadelphia. Despite the Eagles' management expressing a desire to keep Brown, their recent free-agency moves suggest otherwise, leading to optimism among Patriots fans about his potential arrival.
