The expectation is for that to happen in the early stages of June, as the post-June 1 cap hit would ease things for the Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>After some of the decisions the Eagles have made over the past few months, it&#8217;s all but certain that Brown won&#8217;t be on this roster. They moved up in the draft to select Makai Lemon, have added other wide receivers, and all comments outside of a few that Howie Roseman has made pretty much make it seem like he won&#8217;t be a member of the Eagles in the short term.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>However, while it seems like a guarantee that this trade was going to happen with New England, it doesn&#8217;t seem as likely as some have made it seem. According to the latest, while a deal is expected, the two sides have yet to commit to anything just yet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[The Patriots] want Brown. And the Eagles are willing to move on from Brown. And I expect that this trade will come together on June 1,&#8221; ESPN&#8217;s Adam Schefter said during a Tuesday appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, <a href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25423471-new-aj-brown-trade-rumors-reveal-projected-return-eagles-wr-amid-patriots-links\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:per;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;per&quot;}\" class=\"link \">per<\/a> BR. \u201cNeither side is committed to it, but both I believe are expected to make it happen. They&#8217;ll revisit it. It&#8217;s not going to be hard to get done. The Eagles are open to moving him, the Patriots want him, and I believe in the end it will involve a future first-round draft pick. My guess is 2028, but let&#8217;s see what the two sides finally figure out there in the end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It shouldn&#8217;t be too hard to get done, as Schefter touched on, but trades for star wide receivers are still rather expensive at times, so if the Patriots think they&#8217;re going to get Brown for pennies on the dollar, they&#8217;ll likely be very mistaken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In April, reports had started to indicate that the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots were definitely going&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":881977,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[4191,5831,7,1641,34748,1167,249,2326,2094,6,208,109,425],"class_list":["post-881976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-england-patriots","tag-adam-schefter","tag-aj-brown","tag-football","tag-howie-roseman","tag-makai-lemon","tag-new-england","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-newengland","tag-newenglandpatriots","tag-nfl","tag-patriots","tag-philadelphia-eagles","tag-the-eagles"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116514867335713456","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/881976","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=881976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/881976\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/881977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=881976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=881976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=881976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
