The NFL offseason is always a whirlwind of activity, with teams making moves that can reshape the landscape of the league. Amidst the flurry of trades, one name that seemed to slip under the radar is AJ Brown. The Philadelphia Eagles' star wide receiver was expected to be a major player in the trade market, yet as the dust settled, Brown remained in Philly.
While Maxx Crosby made headlines with his move to Baltimore and back to Las Vegas, and the Buffalo Bills snagged DJ Moore from the Chicago Bears, Brown's situation stayed relatively quiet. Even with Michael Pittman Jr. heading to Pittsburgh and Geno Smith landing with the New York Jets, Brown's potential departure from the Eagles remains a topic of interest.
The Eagles have reportedly adjusted their asking price for Brown, keeping other teams on alert. NFL insider Dianna Russini shared that the Los Angeles Rams had considered pursuing Brown before opting to bolster their defense by acquiring All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie. Despite the slowdown in talks, the Rams are still keeping an eye on Brown, a three-time Pro Bowler, with hopes of possibly reigniting discussions.
General Manager Howie Roseman and Head Coach Nick Sirianni have not dismissed the possibility of Brown leaving the team this offseason. With plenty of time left before the new season begins, the market for Brown is far from closed.
Despite a challenging 2025 season, where Brown recorded 78 receptions for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns, his contributions to the Eagles were significant. However, reports suggest that his relationship with the coaching staff and quarterback Jalen Hurts experienced some strain, leading many to speculate that Brown may have played his last game in an Eagles uniform.
As the offseason progresses, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see where AJ Brown's journey takes him next.
