The Philadelphia Eagles trade wide receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots, ending months of speculation. The teams announce the deal and confirm it is structured as two draft picks: the Eagles receive a first-round selection in 2028 and a fifth-round selection in 2027 in exchange for Brown.
Brown, 28, has been a central part of Philadelphia’s offense. The move changes the Eagles’ receiving corps ahead of the upcoming season. New England, which has been looking for a top-tier wide receiver, brings Brown into its roster and reunites him with head coach Mike Vrabel, who previously coached him.
Both outlets report the same core terms of the trade—Brown moving from the Eagles to the Patriots and Philadelphia receiving the 2028 first-round pick plus the 2027 fifth-round pick. The agreement concludes the trade talk that had built over the preceding months.
