A.J. Brown playing with Patrick Mahomes would be must-see TV.
By now, everyone knows that the Philadelphia Eagles are expected to trade A.J. Brown in June.
A Brown trade before June 1 would come with a 2026 cap hit of over $40 million, compared to less than $20 million if he's dealt after that date.
The Eagles are expected to trade Brown to the New England Patriots, but NFL analyst Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report believes the Kansas City Chiefs should be interested in trading for the Pro Bowler as well.
"While New England appears to be his most likely destination, it isn't the only receiver-needy team that should be interested," Knox wrote. "Potential suitors: Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots."
Brown and the Eagles agreed to a three-year, $96 million extension in April 2024. The Super Bowl champion has no guaranteed money on his current deal after 2026.
One of the top receivers in the NFL, Brown had 78 catches for 1,003 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns last season. He and QB Jalen Hurts weren't on the same page and multiple reports have said the two stars are no longer close.
A three-time Pro Bowler, Brown has been with the Eagles since 2022. He has 339 receptions for 5,034 receiving yards and 32 receiving touchdowns in a Philadelphia uniform, helping the franchise beat the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.
Brown has 8,029 receiving yards and 56 receiving touchdowns in the NFL with the Tennessee Titans and Eagles. He's been heavily linked to the Patriots because Mike Vrabel coached him in Tennessee.
However, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is one of the best coaches in NFL history and players always describe him as the true definition of a players' coach. Not only would Reid get the best out of Brown, but Brown playing with Patrick Mahomes would also be must-see TV.
The entire NFL world is waiting to see where the Eagles trade Brown in June. It will most likely be the Patriots, but let's see if the Chiefs take Knox's advice and swoop in at the last second.
