"At the end of the first wave of free agency, NFL insiders reported that the Eagles extended their deadline to reach a deal for an extension with tight end Dallas Goedert. They finally came to an agreement on Sunday, putting the focus back on Brown. Because, according to the insiders, the Eagles are likely unable to keep both Brown and Goedert on the roster, and the current chatter suggests that if the tight end got a new contract, then a trade for the wide receiver would be inevitable."
"Although Philadelphia has insisted they have no interest in trading their star wide receiver, insiders suggest otherwise, who have been consistent about what the Eagles are hoping to receive in return. That has somewhat taken the Patriots out of the running, despite rumors that they had already offered a first-round pick and then some, but were turned down."
"However, if there is even an inkling that Howie Roseman and Co. are considering trading Brown, they should probably do it this offseason when he's still considered a hot commodity, even if that means not moving him until after June 1."
The Philadelphia Eagles extended their deadline and reached a contract agreement with tight end Dallas Goedert on Sunday, reigniting speculation about AJ Brown's future with the team. NFL insiders report the Eagles likely cannot afford to keep both players on their roster, suggesting Brown's trade is now inevitable. The New England Patriots remain in the conversation for the star wide receiver, though Philadelphia has publicly denied trading him. Insiders indicate the Eagles are seeking substantial compensation, including first-round picks, which has temporarily sidelined the Patriots. However, the situation remains fluid, with the most likely trade window potentially opening after June 1 when dead cap considerations become more favorable.
