Trades & TransactionsA.J. Brown is leaving Philadelphia. According to ESPN sources, the Eagles have agreed to trade the Pro Bowl wide receiver to the New England Patriots in exchange for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick — the better of New England's two fifth-round selections that year.
The deal, which had been the subject of speculation for several weeks, marks the end of a four-year run for Brown in Philadelphia and sets up a reunion with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel.
