“Philadelphia Eagles: WR A.J. Brown,” Gagnon wrote. “Jordan Davis is certainly overpaid based on his position and production, but that contract is friendly in the short term and he has room to grow. So instead we’re calling out Brown, who signed a three-year, $96 million extension two years ago and has not matched his earlier peak production since. He barely reached 1,000 yards in 2025 and has a top-10 AAV and cap hit entering 2026. Throw in the tension surrounding his situation within the organization, and this is a no-brainer.” <\/p>\n
Brown’s salary cap hit is just over $23 million in 2026, $22 million in 2027, $27 million in 2028 and $29 million in 2029. In comparison, DK Metcalf has a salary cap<\/a> hit of over $31 million in 2026 and $41 million in 2029. His contract is 13th in the league right now for wide receivers in total value, behind guys like DJ Moore, Terry McLaurin, Alec Pierce, Brandon Aiyuk and Metcalf. He’s just one spot ahead of Calvin Ridley. He’s a top-five receiver. If anything, his deal is a steal for Philadelphia. <\/p>\n
