The Philadelphia Eagles' decision to trade or keep star wide receiver AJ Brown is heavily influenced by the contract situation of tight end Dallas Goedert. The team has effectively bought more time to decide on Brown's fate by addressing Goedert's deal, giving them flexibility both financially and strategically.
According to projections, the New England Patriots are the frontrunners to acquire Brown, with a potential deal revolving around the No 31 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Analyst Matt Johnson predicts that the Eagles could pull the trigger on a Brown trade during draft night, citing the team's previous experience with draft-night trades.
Meanwhile, NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah suggests that the Eagles may prioritize reinforcing their offensive line early in the draft, potentially targeting Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor. This approach would signal a forward-looking approach from general manager Howie Roseman.
