Will Eagles Trade Away Star Receiver Aj Brown? What We Know

For a second consecutive offseason, a star player from an NFC East team is the subject of trade speculation.

Only time will tell if Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will follow in the footsteps of former Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons, ending up elsewhere via trade like Parsons late last offseason.

During the past week, as the free agency negotiating period and 2026 league year inch closer, discussion surrounding a potential trade involving Brown has heated up. According to NFL Media's Mike Garafolo, the Eagles have received multiple trade offers for their leading receiver but none have reached the asking price they're seeking.

Garafolo said Philadelphia is seeking a "Quinnen Williams-type deal," referring to the New York Jets' move at last year's trade deadline. New York got a 2026 second-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick and defensive tackle Mazi Smith from the Cowboys for Williams.

Here's what to know about a possible trade for Brown, including latest rumors, news and contract details for the wide receiver:

Will the Eagles trade AJ Brown?

Latest rumors and reports indicate that Philadelphia does not plan to trade Brown unless they can recoup significant value in a deal. The wideout led the Eagles in targets and receptions last year and is still under contract through 2029.

What "significant value" looks like, according to NFL Media's Mike Garafolo, is "a potential first-round pick with a second-round sweetener," similar to the Jets' return for Williams at last year's trade deadline.

"If they don't get close to that point – or to that point – I don't think (Eagles general manager) Howie Roseman moves him," Garafolo said. "I think he keeps A.J. Brown in the fold. He's a really good player; he is highly valued inside that building."
