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.

Tetairoa McMillan News
Sunday, March 8, 5:35 AM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan finished as the WR15 in Half-PPR formats on his way to winning Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2025. With offensive coordinator Brad Idzik returning for his third season and set to take over play-calling duties from head coach Dave Canales, the stability is in place for him to take the next step in year two. While quarterback Bryce Young has yet to top 3,100 yards in his three-year career, McMillan was on the receiving end of nearly a third of the Panthers' 2025 passing offense, on the strength of a 26.3% target share. Following a surprise playoff appearance, Carolina holds the 19th pick in the NFL Draft, which could put them out of range to add another difference-making receiver in 2026. While the team did place the exclusive rights free agent tender on Jalen Coker, McMillan should again clear the top of the depth chart, putting him in line for his first potential WR1 finish.
