Eagles general manager Howie Roseman spoke to reporters on Thursday, alongside head coach Nick Sirianni, for their end-of-season press conference and was asked if A.J. Brown is someone they would consider trading this offseason. Roseman echoed comments he made back in November, ahead of the trade deadline, but still didn’t give a direct answer.
“It’s hard to find great players in the NFL and A.J.’s a great player. That’s what we’re going out and looking for, when we go out in free agency and the Draft, is trying to find great players who love football and he’s that guy. So that would be my answer.“
Roseman historically keeps things vague, mostly because he doesn’t tend to close the book on any opportunity to make the team better. Brown has caused waves in recent years with his comments and displeasure with certain situations, but never seemed to lose the support of the organization through any of the drama.
The WR is still coming off his fourth-consecutive 1,000-yard season, and continues to set franchise records. Toward the end of the tumultuously 2025 season, Brown and Jalen Hurts seemed closer than they’d been in quite some time, with both publicly supporting each other. During locker room clean-out day, Hurts was asked if he wanted Brown back in 2026, and the QB said that he and Brown are in a great place, but any question about the WR’s future was one for the receiver.
Ultimately, Roseman’s answer indicates that they probably aren’t seriously entertaining offers for A.J. Brown, but if a team throws together a completely over-the-top pitch that doesn’t result in a talent drop-off for the Eagles, they might at least consider it.
