Eagles Preparing for A.J. Brown's Departure?

ESPN's Jeff Darlington said he thinks the Philadelphia Eagles will be "operating from a place" that wide receiver A.J. Brown will not be on their roster for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season this fall. General manager Howie Roseman has refused to give many details this offseason when asked about Brown's status. Additionally, the team acquired wideout Dontayvion Wicks from the Green Bay Packers. Rumors have swirled about the New England Patriots' and Tennessee Titans' interest in trading for Brown, although nothing has come to fruition yet. All signs are pointing to the Eagles getting much more serious about trading the three-time Pro Bowler after June 1, when it becomes much more financially palatable for them to trade the 28-year-old pass-catcher. Although Brown reached the 1,000-yard mark for the fourth straight season (and in six of his seven NFL seasons), he was unhappy with his offensive role in Philly and had a career-low 12.9 yards per catch in 15 regular-season games. A move to New England would be attractive from a fantasy perspective, but Brown might still be a volatile low-end WR1/high-end WR2 target in fantasy football.
