Eagles Trade Up, Add Depth to Receiver Room

0:00On April 24th, the Philadelphia Eagles turned heads in round one by trading up to grab wide receiver McCoy Limon at pick number 20. Right away, all eyes swung back to AJ Brown and those swirling trade rumors, but general manager Howie Roseman shetted down quick. Roseman made it clear after the pick, saying, Brown is still on the team with no deals done. They're just taking it day by day, focusing on building through the draft and off-season moves to strengthen the roster. He's in insiders of buzzing because this adds serious death to an already stacked receiver room with Devonta Smith and others. It gives the Eagles real options no matter what happens with Brown, keeping their hands flexible. Brown skipped voluntary workouts amid the uncertainty and lead talk points to a possible trade after June 1st. That date lets them spread his big cap hit over two years without as much pain right now. For now, the Eagles are playing a cool, sticking to their plan and leaving every door cracked open as the story keeps unfolding. That's the story for today, NFL News Today, driven by AI.
