This A.J. Brown trade proposal sends the Philadelphia Eagles WR to the AFC East.
The Philadelphia Eagles are widely expected to trade WR A.J. Brown this offseason.
With that said, NFL writer Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report proposed the following trade proposal between the Eagles and Buffalo Bills:
Bills Get: WR A.J. Brown
Eagles Get: 2026 2nd-round pick, WR Keon Coleman
Brown had 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in the 2025 regular season. He and QB Jalen Hurts weren't on the same page at all.
During the Eagles' wild-card round loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Nick Sirianni and Brown got into a heated sideline exchange. The Eagles lost to the 49ers at home by a final score of 23-19. Brown had two drops, tying a career high, and declined to speak to the media postgame.
Brown finished the Eagles-49ers game with three catches for 25 yards on seven targets. He was booed by Philadelphia fans after his second drop in the fourth quarter.
A three-time Pro Bowler, Brown has been with the Eagles since 2022. He has 339 receptions for 5,034 yards and 32 touchdowns in a Philadelphia uniform.
This trade proposal gets the Eagles a talented youngster in Coleman, who, like Brown, could benefit from a change of scenery.
"Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown topped 1,000 receiving yards in 2025, marking the sixth time he has done so in seven seasons. However, he hasn't been a Pro Bowler since 2023, and his relationship with the franchise remains 'somewhat tenuous,' according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini," Knox wrote. "According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, trade talks haven't taken place yet but are expected to pick up at the combine."
Coleman had 38 catches for 404 yards and four touchdowns in 2025. He's not better than Brown, but Coleman figures to be less of a "diva" than Brown.
Eagles GM Howie Roseman said this about Brown during his season-ending press conference: "It's hard to find great players in the NFL and A.J.'s a great player. That's what we're going out and looking for when we go out in free agency and the Draft is trying to find great players who love football and he's that guy. So that would be my answer."
It will be intriguing to see if the Eagles trade Brown, who doesn't have a no-trade clause in his contract.
