A J Brown's Preferred Teams, Not Denver

0:00On March 9, AJ Brown might not be long for the Philadelphia Eagles, but a move to the Denver Broncos looks less likely by the day. The Broncos have been hunting for a top-wide receiver this off-season, and the three-time pro-bola was on their radar early. Eagles' general manager, Howie Roseman, has said he is not ready to let Brown go without a fight. Risa reports Reveal Brown has a short list of preferred teams. That includes the Chargers and Chiefs in the AFC West, plus the Bills and Patriots. Dancing with Denver would mean facing those rivals twice a year instead. Fans and analysts point to Brown's desire to pair with elite quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, Josh Allen, or even Rookie Drake May. Tensions with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hertz have simmered, with Brown voicing frustration over his targets last season. Denver coach Sean Payton seems unlikely to chase this deal anyway. It would demand multiple high draft picks and bring in a player with some off-field baggage, clashing with his usual approach.

1:00For now, insiders like Albert Breer, predict Brown could wind up in New England if a trade happens, leaving the Broncos to scout elsewhere for that.
