Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown has been rumored to be on the trade block for the past few weeks. However, NFL insider Peter Schrager provided an update on his situation.

During an appearance on the “Pat McAfee” show on Friday, Schrager shut down these rumors involving the trade of Brown. He said that the Eagles are not looking to part ways with the wide receiver. However, he also expects GM Howie Roseman to keep his ears open for the offers they get for him.

“At the trade deadline, Howie Roseman told everyone, ‘No, we’re not trading A.J. Brown.'” Schrager said. “And then, you got to this media availability. What he said was, of couse, I always listen. Like I said, A.J. Brown’s Twitter handle is always open. Howie Roseman is always listening.

“But I will also add this, he is not on the block by any means. They are not proactively trading A.J. Brown. They are not shopping Brown. But he (Roseman) will always have his phone line open. The issue is for the Eagles, if they trade him before June 1st, it cost them $40 million dollars in dead cap money. They trade him after June 1st, it gets a lot less financially prohibitive.”

The Tennessee Titans traded Brown to the Eagles back in 2022. He initially agreed to a four-year deal worth $100 million. In April 2024, they offered him a three-year extension worth $96 million.

Last season, the Super Bowl LIX champion recorded 1,003 yards on 78 receptions and seven touchdowns. However, Brown also made headlines because of a rumored rift in his relationship with quarterback Jalen Hurts. This triggered the rumor mill to churn about him potentiall parting ways with the Eagles.

NFL analyst discusses the reason why the Eagles are not trading A.J. Brown

On Friday, analyst Louis Riddick discussed a potential reason as to why the Eagles are not trading A.J. Brown. According to him, it is because other teams are not willing to offer them the trade value that they’re asking for.

“Look, they just need to. It just seems like they need to go their separate ways here,” Riddick said on ‘Get Up.’ “Look, there’s just too much smoke around this situation all the time. You have to make tough decision, this is one of those situations where I feel like that’s where it basically needs to go.

“I may be wrong, he maybe be on a football team in 2026, they may sau, ‘Look, we’re not going to get a fair value for this young man on the trade market, so we’re just going to keep him here regardless of how it looks from the outside.”

In seven seasons in the NFL, Brown has recorded 8,029 yards and 56 touchdowns receiving.
