Eagles, Patriots "Not Particularly Close" to A.J. Brown Deal

Thursday, May 28, 8:19 AM

Although the Philadelphia Eagles are expected to trade wide receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots after Monday, June, 1, the two sides are "not particularly close" to pulling something off immediately next week, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. The Eagles want a 2027 first-rounder in exchange for Brown, and the Patriots reportedly do not want to give up a 2027 first-rounder, as of right now. New England remains the most likely destination for Brown before the 2026 regular season, but another suitor could emerge if the Eagles and Patriots are struggling to work out a deal that pleases both sides. Schefter said that trade talks surrounding Brown could drag on for the "foreseeable future." The Eagles' moves this offseason -- trading for Dontayvion Wicks and drafting Makai Lemon in the first round -- have all pointed to Brown being moved, so that's still the likely resolution. The Pats signed Romeo Doubs in free agency, but they also cut Stefon Diggs and are looking for a true No. 1 wideout like Brown. Brown had his sixth 1,000-receiving season in 2025, but he averaged a career-low 12.9 yards per catch in 15 starts in his fourth and likely last year in Philly.

Cedric Tillman News

Cedric Tillman on the Trade Block?

Tuesday, May 5, 8:26 AM

The Cleveland Browns added rookie wide receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston in the 2026 NFL draft, which makes The Athletic's Zac Jackson wonder if the team will eventually look to trade Cedric Tillman this summer. In addition to adding younger competition, the Browns are installing a new offense under head coach Todd Monken. Jackson lists Jerry Jeudy and Concepcion in the top tier of Browns wideouts, followed by Boston and Isaiah Bond in Tier 2. In Tier 3, he lists Tylan Wallace, Malachi Corley, Tillman, and Jamari Thrash. The Browns are hoping that Bond can take the next step with a full offseason, and Boston is a true outside receiver like Tillman. The Browns' major commitments are to Jeudy and the two rookies, which means, as of right now, Tillman might be the WR5 in Cleveland. The fact that Tillman doesn't contribute on special teams hurts his cause even more. The 26-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 out of Tennessee is entering the final season of his rookie deal and is coming off a season in which he caught just 21 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games. Tillman has failed to get going in his three NFL seasons, making him a cut candidate in dynasty leagues if he stays with the Browns.
