Brown"},"content":{"rendered":"<p id=\"inline-text-0\" class=\"mt-[18px] md:mt-0 mb-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5h\">The Philadelphia Eagles fan base pretty much knows by now that the worst-kept secret in the NFL is that wide receiver A.J. Brown is going to get traded at some point.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5k\">Brown has been linked to the New England Patriots in a potential trade, but that most likely won&#8217;t happen until after June 1, leaving the Eagles to make sure they have his replacement ready to go. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WordOnTheBirds\/status\/2045602809706381388\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">ESPN NFL analyst Mike Tannenbaum<\/a> has a name in the NFL Draft he likes to replace Brown for the future.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5n\">\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/insidetheiggles.com\/nfl-insider-s-mock-draft-would-all-but-guarantee-a-major-philadelphia-eagles-trade-denzel-boston-aj-brown\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Denzel Boston, University of Washington<\/a>, four-year starter, big physical receiver. He profiles like A.J. Brown. Again, not saying he\u2019s going to be, right? He\u2019s a perfect complement to the undersized quickness of Hollywood Brown and DeVonta Smith. So, I know we\u2019re in the speculation game. If they would draft Denzel Boston, not saying they\u2019re going to, but if they did, that would be a very meaningful sign about the future of A.J. Brown in Philly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mike Tannenbaum like Denzel Boston as A.J. Brown&#8217;s replacement<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5t\">Boston has really emerged in the last two years as one of the top receivers in the nation, as he has caught 125 receptions for 1,711 yards and 20 touchdowns with the Huskies. He was selected as a third-team All-Big 10 selection after catching 11 touchdowns in 2025.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5w\">One complaint about Boston that has seen his stock drop a bit is that he ran a 4.54-second 40-yard dash, which is slightly below average for the wide receiver class. He&#8217;s still projected to be a first-round pick in the draft and could be selected within the first 20 picks, as his 6-foot-3 frame still makes him an attractive selection for NFL teams to get a great possession receiver.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5z\">The Eagles have done a ton of work at wide receiver over the last month as they have added Marquise &#8220;Hollywood&#8221; Brown, Elijah Moore, and <a href=\"https:\/\/insidetheiggles.com\/philadelphia-eagles-stunning-trade-might-have-just-sealed-aj-brown-s-fate-in-philly-dontayvion-wicks\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dontayvion Wicks<\/a> to the room. With those additions, there&#8217;s a chance Philly could pass on a wide receiver in the draft, but there is still the expectation that the Eagles want someone to work with Smith long-term.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"62\">Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/insidetheiggles.com\/philadelphia-eagles-reporter-has-two-stellar-prospects-in-mind-for-pick-23-if-they-want-them-kadyn-proctor-monroe-freeling\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eagles reporter has two stellar prospects in mind for pick 23 (if they want them)<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"65\">It&#8217;ll be an interesting NFL Draft for the Eagles as they are looking to build for the future on the offensive side of the ball. Boston would be a great addition, someone who would really solidify the future at wide receiver and could help make Eagles fans forget about A.J. Brown.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow insidetheiggles.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=insidetheiggles.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Philadelphia Eagles fan base pretty much knows by now that the worst-kept secret in the NFL is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":869898,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2068],"tags":[25,7,6,242,109,2476],"class_list":{"0":"post-869897","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\/116431424063128484","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869897","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=869897"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/869897\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/869898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=869897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=869897"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=869897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
