The belief remains that, if an AJ Brown trade were to happen, it would likely occur after June 1, when the cap burden would be more manageable for the Eagles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raiders Receive AJ Brown Update With Latest Eagles Trade News<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not all. ESPN\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/draft2026\/story\/_\/id\/48378778\/2026-nfl-draft-latest-buzz-rumors-news-answering-questions-all-32-teams-picks#PHI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external nofollow\">Jordan Reid also added<\/a> that the Eagles are a team that \u201ccould get aggressive in trading up for a receiver.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCircle the Eagles as a team that could get aggressive in trading up for a receiver. Jordyn Tyson (Arizona State) is a player to watch, as he could still be on the board in the Nos. 17-20 range. GM Howie Roseman is notorious for drafting replacements for veterans a year in advance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It all seems to add to the conclusion that the Eagles would be open to trading AJ Brown away, and if that\u2019s the case, the Raiders should be interested.<\/p>\n<p>The Raiders\u2019 current wide receiver room consists of <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/jalen-nailor\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jalen Nailor,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/jack-bech\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jack Bech,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/tre-tucker\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tre Tucker,<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/nfl\/player\/donte-thornton\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dont\u2019e Thornton Jr.<\/a> as the main options.
