Late last week, the buzz around a potential A.J. Brown trade was palpable.
Yet, as of now, he's still with the Philadelphia Eagles. But don't count out the possibility of a move just yet.
NFL insider Dianna Russini has the latest scoop: discussions about trading Brown are still alive. The Rams reportedly considered acquiring Brown before opting for cornerback Trent McDuffie.
Although talks have slowed, Los Angeles remains keenly interested in the three-time Pro Bowler. The situation is fluid, and both parties are still in play.
Trading Brown to a conference rival like the Rams might seem risky for the Eagles, especially if it means bolstering LA's receiving lineup with Brown, Puka Nacua, and Davante Adams. However, if the Rams make a compelling offer, Eagles GM Howie Roseman might just consider it.
The Rams are armed with the 13th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, thanks to a previous trade with the Falcons, and they also hold the 61st overall pick in the second round. Looking ahead, they have their first two picks in the 2027 draft as well. The exact package they'd offer for Brown is still unknown, but the Eagles stand to gain leverage if multiple teams enter the fray.
Speaking of other suitors, the New England Patriots are reportedly still in the mix for Brown, despite signing Romeo Doubs in free agency. Additionally, Brian Baldinger mentioned that there's been "mutual interest" between the Eagles and the Denver Broncos regarding a trade.
Financially, moving Brown is complex but not impossible for the Eagles. While fans might dread the thought of losing him, the reality is that a trade seems increasingly likely.
If these rumors were baseless, the Eagles and Brown could easily quash them. Yet, the silence suggests there's something brewing. Stay tuned, as this story is far from over.
