Howie Roseman explains why the Eagles traded A.J. Brown originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Eagles traded A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick, driven by Brown’s desire for a fresh start and financial flexibility for the team. General manager Howie Roseman noted that the decision evolved over conversations with Brown and aimed to benefit both parties. The Eagles valued the first-round pick highly, intending to enhance their roster while allowing DeVonta Smith to step up as the new WR1. This trade aligns with the Eagles’ offseason strategy to bolster their receiving corps.
