While Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is likely tired of being involved in trade rumors this offseason, there’s not much he can do to silence the noise.
The three-time Pro Bowler is an asset who could undoubtedly continue his game-changing play in a different environment, with the New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Chargers, and Kansas City Chiefs included on Brown’s previously reported wishlist.
However, a Monday afternoon rumor featuring Brown doesn’t bode well for the four franchises in need of receiving assistance.
“What do you think the odds are that I'm answering this question (regarding Brown’s future in Philadelphia) any different than I answered it anywhere else,” Eagles GM Howie Roseman stated, according to NFL.com’s Nick Shook.
"Like really, do you think that's 50%? Do you think it's 75%? A.J. Brown's an Eagle.”
Roseman’s stance on a future trade centered on Brown is particularly bad news for the Patriots. All signs have pointed to Brown landing with New England this summer, with multiple reporters suggesting that an offseason deal is inevitable.
Of course, the Patriots would have to express a willingness to offer the Eagles a first-round pick for their No. 1 receiving offer, but there’s no question New England is the top landing spot for the six-time Super Bowl champions.
With Roseman indicating that the Eagles are fully committed to Brown, though, a trade with the Patriots doesn’t appear as likely as it once was.
