Eagles reshuffle depth chart after A.J. Brown trades to Patriots
Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles have altered their offensive depth chart following the trade of A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots. This significant change affects the receiving lineup, with DeVonta Smith now positioned as the top target. The Eagles remain focused on building depth at quarterback and running back, while their offensive line seeks improvement under new coach Chris Kuper. As training camp approaches, several roster battles are expected, particularly at wide receiver, where newcomers aim to establish their roles alongside Smith. This shift is part of a broader strategy to enhance salary-cap flexibility and build future draft assets.
