The A.J. Brown conversation isn’t going away anytime soon-and honestly, it might not quiet down until he’s wearing a different jersey.
Despite hoisting the Lombardi Trophy with the Eagles in 2025, Brown’s future in Philadelphia feels murky at best. The Eagles’ playoff run came to a halt this season at the hands of the 49ers, and with that loss came renewed speculation about Brown’s long-term role in the City of Brotherly Love.
Let’s be clear: Brown is still one of the league’s premier wideouts. But there’s been a noticeable disconnect in Philly, and that’s fueling a growing wave of trade rumors. As the offseason unfolds, expect his name to be front and center in every hypothetical deal involving a team in need of a game-changing receiver.
One team that checks that box? The Buffalo Bills.
After their own playoff exit, the Bills are staring at a critical offseason-one where upgrading Josh Allen’s receiving corps is near the top of the to-do list. Right now, Khalil Shakir is their top option, and while he’s a solid contributor, he’s not the kind of No. 1 target that keeps defensive coordinators up at night.
A player like A.J. Brown?
That’s a different story.
According to league insiders, a trade between the Eagles and Bills could make a lot of sense-but timing is key. If Philly waits until after June 1 to move Brown, they’d save $7 million against the cap.
That financial angle could be the trigger for any deal to get done. And if it happens, you can bet Josh Allen would be among the first to celebrate.
Brown’s physicality, route-running, and ability to win in contested catch situations would instantly elevate Buffalo’s passing game.
But Buffalo isn’t the only team that could come calling.
The Tennessee Titans are another intriguing landing spot. Now led by new head coach Robert Saleh, the Titans are in the midst of a rebuild-but they’ve got a young quarterback in Cam Ward who could benefit massively from a veteran playmaker like Brown. Tennessee’s offense ranked near the bottom of the league last season, and if they want to give Ward a real shot at developing, surrounding him with top-tier talent is a must.
Bringing Brown back to Nashville-where he spent the first three years of his career-would give the Titans a proven weapon and a familiar face for fans. It would also send a message that this new regime under Saleh is serious about turning things around quickly.
Whether it’s Buffalo, Tennessee, or another team entirely, one thing’s for sure: the A.J. Brown sweepstakes are officially open. And with his skill set, age, and proven production, he won’t be short on suitors.
