Eagles Dismiss A.J. Brown Trade Rumors Despite Slow Start
The Philadelphia Eagles have not shown any signs of trading wide receiver A.J. Brown, despite recent speculation. The team remains undefeated after Week 4, but the focus has shifted to Brown's social media activity rather than their winning streak.
A.J. Brown is still under contract with the Eagles for the 2025 season. Despite having back-to-back 1,400-yard seasons, his production has been low this year, with only 50 yards in the last two games combined. This dip in performance, coupled with cryptic tweets, has led to speculation about his future with the team.
Head coach Nick Sirianni has dismissed trade rumors, stating that Brown wants to stay with the Eagles. However, former Patriots tight end Jermaine Wiggins believes the Patriots should pursue Brown as a trade target. Wiggins argues that adding Brown to the Patriots would provide a long-term No. 1 receiver and accelerate the development of rookie quarterback Drake Maye. He also sees a potential reunion between Brown and Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel as logical and necessary.
The cost to acquire A.J. Brown could be high, potentially starting with a first-round pick. It remains uncertain if the Patriots can afford it. Despite the uncertainty, the Eagles have not indicated they are actively shopping Brown, and coach Sirianni has stated that Brown wants to stay with the team.
