The Philadelphia Eagles made two significant moves as the AJ Brown trade deal remains stagnant. Nick Sirianni and co re-signed safeties Marcus Epps and JT Gray on a one-year deal, giving a boost to the Eagles' safety depth.

Epps is well-versed with their gameplay, having played in Philadelphia from 2019 to 2022, while Gray has been All-Pro three times.

The Eagles also traded Sydney Brown to the Atlanta Falcons in a draft-pick swap ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Falcons will receive Brown along with picks No. 122 and No. 215, while the Eagles get No. 114 and No. 197.

AJ Brown trade speculation continues to evolve, with new details shedding light on the star receiver's preferred destinations. According to reporter Albert Breer, the star WR had identified four potential landing spots, all from the AFC, after the Eagles refused to trade him in their division.

The four teams reportedly included the New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Chargers, and Kansas City Chiefs, with the Bills taking themselves off the market by trading for DJ Moore. Both Chiefs and Chargers reportedly showed little interest, leaving the Patriots as the most likely landing spot for Brown.
