Eagles secretly planning AJ Brown exit after June 1? The wink-wink deal that has NFL insiders talking

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to trade A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots around June 1, when the dead cap split becomes applicable. Both Albert Breer and Adam Schefter identify New England as the frontrunner, citing Brown's rapport with coach Mike Vrabel from their Tennessee Titans days. The Eagles are targeting a 2027 first-round pick as their primary return, viewing it as more valuable than a 2028 selection given the strength of that draft class. No official deal has been confirmed.
