NFL insiders have clarified reports of a 'handshake deal' between the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots for AJ Brown. ESPN's Adam Schefter denied any pre-arranged agreement, stating that the Eagles won't rush to make a move until after June 1st due to salary cap considerations.
The Patriots remain a strong fit for Brown, who recorded 78 receptions for 1,003 receiving yards and 7 touchdowns last season. The Eagles' lack of urgency to trade Brown, bolstered by the addition of Marquise Brown, gives them flexibility to wait until June 1st to make a decision.
