A.J. Brown News
Sunday, March 8, 7:01 PM
The NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that right now, the momentum "seems to have stalled" in trade discussions surrounding Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown. However, it's not for lack of creativity on general manager Howie Roseman's part, as Garafolo explains that Roseman has floated the idea of doing half of a deal now and the other half after June 1, which would help Philly's salary cap picture for the 2026 season. Meanwhile, Josina Anderson has reported that the New England Patriots are currently telling the Eagles that they are not giving up a first-round pick for Brown, per a league source. The Eagles have "floated" a first-rounder, a second-rounder, and a player asking price to the Pats in exchange for Brown. The 28-year-old wideout, who had a fourth straight 1,000-yard season in 2025, is under contract through 2029 and carries a salary cap hit of just under $24 million for 2026.

Rome Odunze News
Sunday, February 22, 10:11 AM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze got off to a scorching start to the 2025 season, recording 20 catches for 296 yards and five touchdowns on 35 targets across his first four games of the year. However, the 23-year-old's production slowed down over the course of the season. Over his next eight games played, Odunze hauled in 24 receptions for 265 yards and one touchdown on 55 targets. Odunze also suffered a foot injury that caused him to miss Chicago's final five games of the regular season. The 23-year-old was able to return for the playoffs, so he should be good to go for 2026 from a health perspective. However, Odunze has not yet shown the elite fantasy production upside some projected when Chicago selected him ninth overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. Odunze also has significant target competition around him with the Bears in the form of wide receivers DJ Moore and Luther Burden III, as well as tight end Colston Loveland. Odunze still has time to break out as a star, but his dynasty outlook took a slight hit in 2025.
