Brown's next team: Who is most likely to pry WR away from Eagles?
A.J. Brown's name is frequently mentioned in trade rumors, and it's no surprise to hear more buzz around the Eagles wideout as another offseason begins.
Both Eagles general manager Howie Roseman and head coach Nick Sirianni recently fielded questions about Brown's future in Philadelphia, with neither offering a concrete answer as to whether the wideout will stay in Philadelphia for a fifth season.
Sirianni said he couldn't guarantee Brown will return in 2026. Roseman tiptoed around the topic: "It's hard to (get better) if you're just subtracting great players," he said, according to NFL.com's Kevin Patra.
The Eagles opted to hold onto their oft-disgruntled wide receiver through recent trade cycles, preferring to deal with potential distractions rather than settle for pennies on the dollar. But after a frustrating season in which Philadelphia's offense sputtered and Brown's production dipped for a fourth consecutive year, could the Eagles finally make a move?

Philadelphia Eagles (-160)
The Eagles remain the favorites to roster Brown when next season begins at -165 on theScore Bet (62.3% implied probability). Brown said he wants to stay in Philly. He called it "home" and said he was excited to work with new Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion.
Plus, a deal involving Brown could be tricky; Philly would eat around $43 million in dead money by trading the 28-year-old wideout before June 1, per Over the Cap. If the Eagles can wait, moving him after June 1 would spread his cap penalty over the next two seasons.
Still, plenty of suitors will line up for Brown's services, even with four years remaining on his current contract and a 2026 cap hit of $23 million.
New England Patriots (+225)
A trade between the Eagles and Patriots makes a ton of sense. Not only do the Patriots have a glaring need at wide receiver and the cap space to make Brown's contract work, but Mike Vrabel and Brown have history from their time together in Tennessee.
It's widely known that Vrabel wasn't thrilled when the Titans traded Brown to the Eagles during the 2022 draft. Vrabel has mentioned that he's maintained his relationship with Brown since that deal, so New England feels like a perfect fit.
Buffalo Bills (+800)
If the Bills are in the mix for Brown, they'll likely need to outbid their AFC East rivals to land the three-time Pro Bowler. The Bills' latest postseason run made it obvious that they have to get Josh Allen some help on the outside. Buffalo needs to get creative with its cap situation and may choose a cheaper option at wide receiver, but Brown would make an already dangerous offense potentially the most potent in the NFL.
Baltimore Ravens (+1400)
Like the Bills, the Ravens are in desperate need of an outside threat - in their case, to complement Zay Flowers' underneath routes. Derrick Henry would likely be heavily involved in the recruiting process after he and Brown made three consecutive playoffs together with the Titans. New head coach Jesse Minter is defensive-minded, but his offense may be one player away from unlocking a Super Bowl-winning unit, and Brown could be that missing piece.
