However, at this juncture, it&#8217;s hard to envision him returning to the Eagles for another season, as all signs point toward both sides wanting to move on.<\/p>\n<p>Though undeniably on the decline, Brown remains a true No. 1 receiver. The 28-year-old posted 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games last season. Brown is a three-time Pro Bowler and one-time Super Bowl champion.<\/p>\n<p>More NFL:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nesn.com\/new-england-patriots\/news\/stefon-diggs-reunion-patriots-exec-apparently-still-isnt-ruling-it-out\/d2f294c0a851e56094da6cc0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stefon Diggs Reunion?
