Brown Amid Drama"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The Philadelphia Eagles aren\u2019t a team that typically sits still, and if given the uncertainty around A.J. Brown, I\u2019d bet they\u2019re exploring every possible move. A lot of rumors are conflicting, as some say Brown is leaving and will be traded, while others think the Eagles will keep him.<\/p>\n<p>There are many trade proposals going around and some of them are very interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>A to Z Sports\u2019 Adam Holt proposed a deal that would send Dontayvion Wicks from the Green Bay Packers to Philadelphia. In the deal, Green Bay would receive a fourth-round pick (No. 137) and a 2027 sixth-rounder, while the Eagles would land Wicks and a 2027 seventh-round pick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Eagles have an idea of A.J. Brown\u2019s future but that will stay close to the vest until after the NFL draft. Accordingly, adding another veteran WR to the mix could make some sense, especially if the plan is to trade Brown post-June 1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPhilly already added both Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore during free agency, but that shouldn\u2019t prevent them from making another acquisition at WR if the value makes sense. Since the Birds lost Jahan Dotson during the FA period, Wicks can come in and play a role next season alongside Devonta Smith and the other depth options at the position for Sean Mannion\u2019s offense, which he should already have a good feel for,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/nfl\/green-bay-packers-news\/7-hypothetical-trades-for-dontayvion-wicks-rumors\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:wrote;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;wrote&quot;}\" class=\"link \">wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The entire deal hinges on Brown\u2019s situation. The Eagles may have a plan internally, but as Holt noted, it\u2019s something that likely won\u2019t be solved until after the draft.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>While we don\u2019t know the truth behind everything, Adam Schefter reported that there\u2019s no handshake under the table to get Brown to the New England Patriots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we don\u2019t know is what\u2019s going to happen with New England from now until June 1st,\u201d Schefter said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew England could, for all we know, bring back [Stefon] Diggs, they could go sign some of the other wide receivers that are out there, they could draft a wide receiver. And if any of those things happen, then that will probably take them out of the A.J. Brown market. \u201cThere\u2019s no under-the-table, to my knowledge, handshake agreement between the two sides to get A.J. Brown to New England despite the rumors,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>If the Eagles lose Brown, I don\u2019t think Wicks is the perfect answer. However, there might not be a ton of better options out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Eagles aren\u2019t a team that typically sits still, and if given the uncertainty around A.J.
