Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was one of the most disgruntled players in the league last season, as he struggled to consistently be on the same page as quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Although Brown remains a rostered member of the Eagles, Philadelphia is widely expected to trade the wideout, with ESPN’s senior NFL insider Adam Schefter believing the trade will happen sooner rather than later.
“I’ve said I’m sticking to my guns. I’ve said all along I expect that trade to be on or shortly after June 1. I don’t think anything has changed,” Schefter said, according to Musket Wire.
Now, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio has linked brown to three franchises: The Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots, and Los Angeles Rams.
“Some are still suggesting the Rams could make a run at Brown. That ship sailed in March, when the Rams decided not to proceed based on the available medical information — and when the Rams allowed $24 million in 2026 compensation for receiver Davante Adams to become fully guaranteed,” Florio reported.
“If the Rams had done the deal, they would have traded Adams. It’s not impossible for someone else to enter the A.J. fray, especially if the Chiefs are suddenly having misgivings about whether Rashee Rice can be trusted after his recent probation violation.”
The Patriots have been the favorite landing spot for Brown, but Kansas City would make a lot of sense as well.
