Eagles general manager Howie Roseman<\/a> is scheduled to speak with reporters at the NFL\u2019s annual spring meeting on Sunday in Phoenix.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The session is almost certain to include an \u201cupdate\u201d on A.J. Brown <\/a>\u2014 and it will likely sound very familiar to what Roseman said before and during the scouting combine. That back-and-forth is expected to continue until Brown is either traded or the NFL trade deadline passes this season.<\/p>\n

To recap, here\u2019s what Roseman said in February:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really hard to find great players. I think A.J. is a great player. From my perspective, we\u2019re looking to improve in all areas, and you don\u2019t do that by subtracting.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also added important context:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you go into the league year listening to offers for everything and anything. I don\u2019t think that you can go into any conversation with anyone and just shoot things down without hearing what they have to say.\u201d <\/p>\n

Since then, Eagles On SI and other outlets have reported that the New England Patriots have shown genuine interest in Brown \u2014 interest that is reciprocated. <\/p>\n

Brown\u2019s agent, Jimmy Sexton, was actively soliciting offers at the scouting combine in Indianapolis. Sports Illustrated\u2019s Albert Breer reported that Brown\u2019s camp provided a list of preferred destinations that included the Patriots, Buffalo Bills, and Los Angeles Chargers. <\/p>\n

There was also discussion about the Los Angeles Rams checking in, though the idea of Roseman trading Brown to another legitimate NFC contender has always seemed unlikely. <\/p>\n

Roseman is known for being stubborn with his asking price, which has reportedly been labeled \u201cunserious\u201d by the Patriots early in the process.<\/p>\n

Potential trade windows exist at the start of the new league year, around the draft, and especially after June 1 \u2014 the date after which the Eagles could spread Brown\u2019s large dead-money hit over two seasons.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s clear now is that the pool of realistic suitors is shrinking. <\/p>\n

The Rams, Bills, and Chargers appear to have moved on. Some around the league believe it has become \u201cPatriots or bust.\u201d<\/p>\n

Complicating the picture further is the Eagles\u2019 recent signing of wide receiver Elijah Moore \u2014 one of Brown\u2019s closest friends \u2014 which some interpret as an attempt to keep the star receiver happy and committed to another run in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

In other words, this soap opera continues to get renewed. Nothing Roseman says in Phoenix is likely to change that.<\/p>\n

Every major milestone on the NFL calendar \u2014 the draft, the start of OTAs, mandatory minicamp, training camp, roster cuts, and ultimately the Nov. 3 trade deadline \u2014 will serve as another potential lever for a possible A.J. Brown trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is scheduled to speak with reporters at the NFL\u2019s annual spring meeting on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":840023,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2068],"tags":[25,7,6,242,109,2476],"class_list":{"0":"post-840022","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-eagles","8":"tag-eagles","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-philadelphia","12":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","13":"tag-philadelphiaeagles"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116309700739004619","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/840022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=840022"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/840022\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/840023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=840022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=840022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=840022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
