Brown trade after NFL Draft"},"content":{"rendered":"

When the 2026 offseason began, it didn\u2019t seem as though the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> felt comfortable entertaining the idea of trading A.J. Brown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although the three-time Pro Bowler hasn\u2019t been on great terms with the franchise after a drama-filled 2025-26 season, he\u2019s still the franchise\u2019s go-to receiving option who helped it win its second Super Bowl in 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, recent reports have suggested that an offseason trade on Brown is a likely possibility after Philadelphia\u2019s first-round NFL draft move (it selected USC WR Makai Lemon 20th overall. Although the consensus is that Brown will land with the New England Patriots<\/a>, the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> have been rumored to pursue the 1,000-yard wideout.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the Athletic’s Nate Atkins<\/a>, the Rams have made their stance clear on executing a deal for Brown closer to June. 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cLos Angeles is not expected to target Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown despite earlier trade talks,\u201d Atkins wrote Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Rams\u2019 stance on a potential trade for Brown makes perfect sense. Unlike the Patriots, the Rams boast a high-caliber receiving core that should undoubtedly receive a top-10 ranking heading into the new season (Davante Adams and Puka Nacua headline the Rams\u2019 WR room).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Without any additional moves at the position, Los Angeles should feel confident about their chances of dethroning the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> in the NFC and returning to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Needless to say, New England, which is currently without a No. 1 receiver, needs Brown far more than Los Angeles does.<\/p>\n
