Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver AJ Brown might not be traded after all, with several reports suggesting he could remain with the team through the upcoming NFL Draft.

The 28-year-old was expected to be traded, but the significant salary cap hit the Eagles would face if they traded him before June 1 has made them think twice.

General manager Howie Roseman has made it clear that Brown is an Eagle, and the team has strengthened its wide receiver room with recent signings, including Marquise "Hollywood" Brown and Elijah Moore.

ESPN's Adam Schefter believes these moves could hint at future plans, but former NFL general manager Mike Tannenbaum thinks a post-June 1 trade is more likely.

Meanwhile, the New York Giants slipped to the No 5 pick, but they remain in position to make a significant move in the 2026 draft.
