Eagles prepare to trade A.J. Brown, expected to join Patriots

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to trade wide receiver A.J. Brown after 4 p.m. on June 1, anticipating the deal to be finalized on June 2. This trade follows months of speculation about Brown’s future with the team, and it is expected he will reunite with former head coach Mike Vrabel at the New England Patriots. The Eagles could receive a first-round pick in return, likely for either 2027 or 2028, with discussions ongoing since March. Brown's departure marks a significant adjustment for the Eagles' offense, which will now rely on DeVonta Smith and others to fill the void.
