Trade discussions involving Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown have intensified during the NFL Scouting Combine, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Several teams evaluating Brown’s potential return believe his value aligns with a package centered around a second-round draft pick. Despite this, Fowler remains uncertain whether such an offer would convince the Eagles to part ways with their star receiver.
Teams Eyeing Brown and Eagles’ Openness to Trade
Buzz around A.J. Brown’s trade value continues to circulate strongly, with multiple league executives confirming the Eagles are open to negotiation.

This connection could influence potential trade discussions significantly.

However, some league insiders suggest that if Brown is traded, the Eagles may aim to acquire a veteran wide receiver in return. Among the players named as possible trade targets are New Orleans Saints’ Chris Olave and Denver Broncos’ Courtland Sutton.
