If the A.J. Brown rumor mill needed more fuel, James Palmer just dumped a fresh canister on the fire. Recently, more chatter connected the Jacksonville Jaguars as yet another possible landing spot<\/a> if the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> ever decided to move their star wide receiver. That alone added intrigue to an offseason conversation that refuses to die. Now Palmer has layered something even more interesting on top of it.<\/p>\n During a recent appearance on Up & Adams<\/a>, the NFL insider offered a revealing take on how Eagles general manager Howie Roseman may be approaching this entire situation. It appears that what was believed to be a shrinking market for Brown is expanding again.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you think Howie isn\u2019t calling every team, you\u2019re a fool… Howie has no deadline. He is in no rush. He doesn\u2019t need to do a deal June 1. He can give it weeks, a few months.\u201d<\/p>\n That quote says a lot. Not because it confirms a trade is imminent. It doesn\u2019t, but it reinforces something Eagles fans already know about Roseman: if there\u2019s even a possibility to improve the roster, create leverage, or extract maximum value, he\u2019s going to explore every angle.<\/p>\n That\u2019s what makes this conversation complicated. Some will hear Palmer\u2019s comments and treat them as confirmation that Brown\u2019s days in Philadelphia are numbered. That feels premature. Others will dismiss the chatter entirely because Brown remains one of the NFL\u2019s premier receivers, and moving him would create obvious questions about the offense. That\u2019s fair too.<\/p>\n Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n The more realistic takeaway probably lives somewhere in the middle. Roseman making calls doesn\u2019t necessarily mean he wants to move Brown tomorrow. It may simply mean he\u2019s doing what smart executives do: gathering information, creating options, and understanding the market before any major decision becomes necessary.<\/p>\n That\u2019s especially true if multiple teams are interested. A bidding war changes everything, and if Palmer is right, Howie may be in no hurry to reveal his hand. That\u2019s what makes this story worth monitoring.<\/p>\n The Jaguars<\/a> may be one name. The New England Patriots<\/a> have long hovered around this conversation. Other teams could quietly be lurking. If Roseman is truly working the phones, the bigger story may not be whether A.J. Brown gets traded. It may be just how many teams are willing to listen when the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> are on the phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"May 19, 2026, 8:38 p.m. ET If the A.J.
