Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is once again at the center of offseason speculation.
In a recent piece, CBS Sports insider Tyler Sullivan outlined five potential trade packages the Eagles could consider if they ultimately decide to move on from their star receiver.
Sullivan noted that while Brown remains productive, “it now feels more than ever before that a deal could be on our doorstep.”
Sullivan also cautioned that Philadelphia likely shouldn’t expect a massive haul.
Citing recent trades involving receivers like Stefon Diggs and DK Metcalf, he wrote that “a second-round pick is the ceiling,” with a third-rounder and late-round compensation representing a more realistic floor.
Here’s how the five proposed scenarios break down.
Eagles-Linked Trade Targets: Bills, Patriots & Chargers
Sullivan first connected Brown to the Buffalo Bills, proposing a deal that would send a 2026 second-round pick (No. 60 overall) to Philadelphia.
Buffalo needs “a true No. 1 wideout” for quarterback Josh Allen.
With the Bills trying to maximize their championship window, Sullivan suggested they “should be willing to pay up for Brown.”
The New England Patriots were also floated as a potential landing spot.
In that scenario, the Eagles would receive a 2026 third-round pick (No. 95) and a fifth-rounder (No. 169).
Sullivan pointed to Brown’s relationship with head coach Mike Vrabel from their Tennessee days, noting the connection is “obvious.”
However, he added New England “may not be willing to shell out an early Day 2 pick” as it continues rebuilding its roster.
The Los Angeles Chargers were included as well.
Philadelphia received a 2026 third-rounder (No. 86) and a sixth-round pick (No. 203) while sending back a 2027 seventh.
Sullivan argued that adding Brown to Justin Herbert’s arsenal could help the Chargers “go to the next level,” especially with improved protection expected in 2026.
Two More Eagles Trade Fits: Broncos & Ravens
Sullivan also proposed a deal with the Denver Broncos, sending Brown to Denver for a 2026 third-round pick (No. 94) and a fifth-rounder (No. 168).
He noted the Broncos have been “rumored to be looking for a wide receiver for a while now.”
Pairing Brown with Courtland Sutton could give quarterback Bo Nix a dynamic red-zone duo.
Finally, the Baltimore Ravens were mentioned as a contender in win-now mode.
In that package, the Eagles would receive a 2026 third-round pick (No. 80) and a 2027 fourth-rounder.
Sullivan wrote that Brown would “instantly improve the ceiling of the unit” alongside Lamar Jackson.
Of course, any trade conversation must factor in Brown’s contract and a significant dead cap hit.
The projected returns may not be what Eagles fans are hoping for.
But as Sullivan made clear, if Philadelphia believes it’s time to reset the relationship, there are at least five realistic trade packages to consider.
