The Denver Broncos are reportedly interested in trading for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown this offseason. According to reports, the Broncos could acquire Brown by sending a third and fifth-round pick to the Eagles.

Why it matters

Adding a top-tier receiver like A.J. Brown would give the Broncos' passing attack a major boost as they look to build on their successful 2025 season, where they reached the AFC Championship game. Brown would provide a formidable receiving threat alongside Courtland Sutton.

The details

The Broncos have seen steady improvement in the first two seasons under quarterback Bo Nix, making the playoffs in 2024 and earning the No. 1 seed in the AFC in 2025. With Brown's frustration in Philadelphia, the Eagles are expected to trade the star receiver this offseason. Analysts believe the Broncos could land Brown for a third and fifth-round pick, which would be a relatively affordable price for such a talented player.

  • The Broncos reached the AFC Championship game in the 2025 season.

What they’re saying

“When Philadelphia acquired Brown from the Titans in 2022, the Eagles sent the No. 18 overall pick in that year's draft to Tennessee. Getting a first (or maybe even a second) at this stage of Brown's career seems a little too far-fetched, particularly with his age and contract situation (signed through 2029 and due $29 million in guarantees next season). Brown also appeared to lose a step in 2025, notably dropping some key balls in that playoff defeat to San Francisco. That may also make some prospective teams a bit skittish about trading blue-chip draft capital for him.”

What’s next

The Broncos will need to negotiate with the Eagles to finalize the trade terms for A.J. Brown, likely involving a third and fifth-round pick.

The takeaway

The Broncos have an opportunity to significantly upgrade their receiving corps by trading for A.J. Brown, which could help them take the next step and reach the Super Bowl after a strong 2025 campaign.
