Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> rumors have been hot and heavy all offseason long. That\u2019s typically the norm with general manager Howie Roseman running the show.<\/p>\n

The Eagles even pulled off a semi-blockbuster on draft weekend, landing Pro Bowl pass rusher Jonathan Greenard<\/a> from the Minnesota Vikings<\/a>. Yet, the worst-kept secret is that the Eagles likely aren\u2019t done making deals.<\/p>\n

The most-talked-about trade in the NFL right now, and for months, is the expected move of sending three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Brown<\/a>, potentially to the New England Patriots<\/a>. Brown is widely expected to be dealt, but the actual destination isn\u2019t quite set in stone.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN\u2019s NFL insider Jeremy Fowler<\/a>, it\u2019s \u201csort of understood\u201d that Brown will be traded at some point, likely on or after June 1. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts<\/a> has been gathering teammates for workouts, but to no surprise, Brown hasn\u2019t been there.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou like how I slipped that in there? Let me put it this way, A.J. Brown\u2019s not at these workouts, so it\u2019s sort of understood right now,\u201d said Fowler.<\/p>\n

Fowler also added that DeVonta Smith<\/a> is now the Eagles\u2019 new No. 1 receiver. Obviously, that title used to belong to Brown, but Smith was actually the team\u2019s leading receiver in 2025, for the first time since Brown arrived via trade in 2022.<\/p>\n

In other words, everyone involved with the Eagles appears to be operating with the mindset that Brown won\u2019t be with Philadelphia in 2026. Whether he\u2019ll be in New England<\/a> or another destination remains to be seen.<\/p>\n
