The Philadelphia Eagles might have come to terms with the thought of moving on from disgruntled wide receiver AJ Brown. The former Tennessee Titans star has made it clear that he's not comfortable in Philadelphia, and while they were adamant about parting ways with him at first, that may have changed.
Nevertheless, that doesn't mean they will lower their reportedly steep asking price for his services. However, NFL insider Josina Anderson reported that GM Howie Roseman may have altered his desired conditions to make a move:
"At some point in discussions, a league source conveyed to me Monday the belief that the Eagles may be okay with a 2027 1st round pick & a 2026 2nd round pick for WR AJ Brown," Anderson wrote on X.

Per Anderson, the Eagles may prefer taking another first-round selection for next year's stacked draft class, given that they're already more than set for this edition:
"When, I asked sources why Philly may* be okay with deferring the 1st-round ask to next year, one source told me,' (The Eagles) already have 4 top 100 picks this year. Easier for the other team to give their 1st-round pick next year, than this year,'" added Anderson.
The New England Patriots reportedly made a big offer to acquire him, but to no avail. Per Anderson, it's unclear whether the Patriots will be interested in meeting the Eagles' new asking price.
Mike Vrabel's team just cut Stefon Diggs, and they clearly need a primary pass catcher for Drake Maye. Even so, Brown comes with some baggage and a big character, and giving up that much to get him is a massive risk, as talented as he is.
