Eagles trade A.J. Brown to Patriots after months of speculation
Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles have traded wide receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots, concluding months of speculation surrounding his future. The deal was finalized on June 1, 2026, with the Eagles receiving a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick in exchange for Brown. The trade ends a tenure marked by public complaints about his role on the Eagles, despite his contributions that included a Super Bowl appearance and a strong performance in previous seasons.
