The Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly seeking a significant trade package, similar to what the Green Bay Packers received for Davante Adams, in exchange for discontented wide receiver A.J. Brown. Brown had a disappointing 2025 season and drew boos from the Philadelphia crowd after a crucial drop in the playoffs, leading to speculation that his time with the team may be coming to an end.

Why it matters

A.J. Brown's potential departure would be a major shakeup for the Eagles' offense, which struggled at times last season. The team's high asking price reflects Brown's talent, but could also signal a willingness to move on from the wideout if the right deal emerges.

The details

According to reports, the Eagles are seeking a first-round pick and another top-100 selection in exchange for Brown, similar to the package the Packers received from the Raiders for Davante Adams in 2022. However, some teams view Brown's value as closer to what the Bills got from the Texans for Stefon Diggs in 2024 - a second-round pick and a Day 3 pick swap.

  • Brown had a disappointing 2025 season with the Eagles.
  • In the Eagles' Wild Card playoff game against the 49ers, Brown had a crucial drop late in the game that drew boos from the Philadelphia crowd.

What they’re saying

“The asking price, for now, is high. It sounds like the Eagles would want a first-round pick and another top-100 selection (similar to what the Packers got for Davante Adams in 2022), and that's going to be too much for most, if not all, teams.”

“Some of those teams, conversely, see Brown's value as being closer to what the Bills got for Stefon Diggs from Houston in '24 (a second-rounder, plus a Day 3 pick-swap that favored Buffalo).”

What’s next

It remains to be seen how much Brown's discontent would affect what a team is willing to give up for him via a trade, and whether the Eagles will ultimately lower their asking price to facilitate a deal.

The takeaway

The Eagles' high asking price for A.J. Brown reflects his talent, but also suggests the team may be willing to move on from the disgruntled wide receiver if the right trade offer emerges, potentially signaling a significant shakeup for Philadelphia's offense.
