Eagles Consider Trading A.J. Brown

0:00It's April 9th. I'm Corey with The Story, and this is NFL News Today Football News, powered by AI. The Philadelphia Eagles and Star-Wide receiver AJ Brown seemed headed for a split, with a team listening to trade offers, but no deal done yet. Rumors have swirled since last October, and now the post-June for his deadline could make a move easier by spreading out the cap hit over two years. Brown's been frustrated with the passing game, and his role under multiple coordinators. Here this week at the Owner's Meetings, Eagles execs downplayed the buzz, insisting Brown is still their guy for now. But they're shopping him quietly, eyeing a fresh start if the price is right. At 29 years old, his contract leaves room for teams to swoop in. Fans and analysts are split on the impact. The Eagles have dominated the NFC East, three of the last four years, gone to two Superbos and posted a 50-win 18-loss record since Brown, arrived in 2022. Their offense ranks top five in points and yards, thanks in big part to his big plays.

1:03Dig into the numbers, and Brown shines even after a down year with a 1,000-3 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games. Over four seasons, he's top five in yards league-wide, with 32 scores and four straight 1,000-yard campaigns, a franchise first. No coincidence, Jalen Hertz thrives, targeting him most, hitting 65% with a 108 pass rating and elite deballs. Keeping Brown extends their championship window another year, pairing his field stretching ability with Hertz just makes too much sense right now. If no trade clicks soon, expect them to run it back through 2026 and reassess later.
