The Cleveland Browns are gearing up for an exciting offseason, armed with the resources to reshape their offense. With clear needs at offensive line and wide receiver, they’re poised to make some strategic moves.
Though not yet playoff-ready, the Browns boast a formidable defense. The missing piece?
A dynamic offense. Enter the possibility of acquiring superstar wide receiver AJ Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles-a move that could be transformative.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler has floated a trade idea that could make this a reality. It’s a win-win scenario: the Browns send a 2026 first-round pick (No. 24 overall) to the Eagles in exchange for Brown. Given their extra first-rounder from a previous trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Browns are in a unique position to make such a deal.
AJ Brown would not only fit seamlessly into the Browns' financial plans, but his presence could significantly elevate their offensive game. Pairing him with quarterback Shedeur Sanders would provide Sanders with an experienced, game-changing target, offering a clearer picture of his potential in 2026.
General manager Andrew Berry, with his history of successful trades for star receivers like Amari Cooper and Odell Beckham Jr., understands the impact a player like Brown can have. With two first-round picks, the Browns can offer the Eagles a compelling deal while addressing their own roster needs.
While it's uncertain if Brown will be on the move, the Browns are uniquely positioned to present the Eagles with an enticing offer. If a trade is in the cards, Cleveland could very well be the team to make it happen this offseason.
