This A.J. Brown trade proposal sends the Philadelphia Eagles WR to an AFC North team.
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters at the NFL Combine that he can't guarantee whether WR A.J. Brown will be on the roster next season.
During the Eagles' wild-card round loss to the San Francisco 49ers, 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.
If Philadelphia decides to trade Brown, Moe Moton of Bleacher Report thinks a trade with the Baltimore Ravens makes sense.
Baltimore Ravens Get: WR A.J. Brown
Philadelphia Eagles Get: 2026 2nd-round pick, WR Rashod Bateman
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.
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.
"Brown would reunite with his former Tennessee Titans teammate, Derrick Henry, and add to the team's physical identity," Moton wrote. "The 6'1", 226-pound outside receiver can be a complement to Flowers, who's a shifty 5'9" wideout who lines up on the boundary and in the slot.
"Lamar Jackson could post career numbers with Brown and Flowers as his top two targets. The Eagles can get more out of Rashod Bateman. Last June, he signed a three-year, $36.75 million extension and followed up with 19 catches for 224 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games. In a trade to Philadelphia, the five-year veteran can operate as the clear-cut No. 2 option behind DeVonta Smith."
Brown doesn't have a no-trade clause in his contract. The Eagles would absorb a dead cap hit of over $40 million if they dealt Brown before June 1, compared with less than $20 million in dead cap if a trade is consummated after that date. The team acquiring Brown would be responsible for his $29 million salary in 2026 and around $4 million in guaranteed money in 2027, per ESPN.
Brown has been in the NFL since 2019. He has 524 receptions for 8,029 yards and 56 touchdowns with the Tennessee Titans and Eagles.
It will be fascinating to see where Brown is playing next season.
