Eagles to Revisit A.J. Brown Trade Situation in June

Monday, March 16, 4:36 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles will revisit trade scenarios involving wide receiver A.J. Brown in June, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Brown remains an Eagle at this point, but Rapoport explains that "there has been momentum at various times" in trade talks. Rapoport's reporting provided some new insight into an ongoing saga that seemingly has no end in sight. Specifically, he reported that there were originally believed to be four serious landing spots for Brown, with the Rams and Patriots leading the pack. The Rams have lost interest, but the Patriots reportedly continue to check in and remain intrigued by the possibility of acquiring the superstar receiver. As has already been reported, Rapoport also explained that the Eagles would prefer to wait until June 1 to trade Brown. If they were to trade him now, an amount of $40 million would be accelerated to count against the cap. If they wait until June 1, that number halves to $20 million. As a result, fantasy managers will have to be patient because these trade rumors will continue to swirl for another two-plus months.

Matthew Golden News

Matthew Golden Expected to Become Bigger Part of the Offense

Tuesday, February 17, 9:14 AM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden had a disappointing first year in the NFL in 2025 after he was taken with the 23rd overall pick out of Texas. The 22-year-old caught 29 passes for 361 yards and no touchdowns in 14 regular-season games on just 44 targets. It was surprising that he had so few targets, especially with tight end Tucker Kraft tearing his ACL in Week 9. The Athletic's Matt Schneidman expects Golden "to be a much bigger part of the game plan next season" in his sophomore season. It would be premature to expect Golden to be above Christian Watson or Jayden Reed in the pecking order, but Schneidman "wouldn't hesitate to use him over Dontayvion Wicks." Romeo Doubs is expected to depart in free agency, opening up a big role in the passing attack for Golden. Fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues shouldn't sell low on him, and he could end up being a nice value pick in redraft fantasy leagues this fall.
