Eagles to receive 2028 first-round pick from Patriots for A.J. Brown

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to acquire the New England Patriots' first-round pick in 2028 in exchange for A.J. Brown. This deal is expected to become official as early as Tuesday following a potential transaction time of 4:01 p.m. ET on Monday. Reported by Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, this trade allows the Eagles to relieve $133.1 million in future cash obligations under Brown's contract. The relationship between Brown and the Eagles has reportedly reached its conclusion, with the team lacking leverage and no alternative offers emerging. This strategic move may influence the positioning of the Patriots' upcoming pick, as the Eagles will play New England in the 2027 season.
