As soon as Tuesday, it can become official.<\/p>\n<p>So what will the Eagles get from the Patriots for the balance of the A.J. Brown contract?<\/p>\n<p>Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the Eagles <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Jeff_McLane\/status\/2061434236196847735?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">will get New England\u2019s first-round pick in 2028<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles lacked significant leverage. The relationship had already run its course. The cap consequences after 2026 would have become more challenging. And no other team ever materialized as an option.<\/p>\n<p>As McLane notes, the trade also allows the Eagles to avoid $133.1 million in cash obligations under the contract.<\/p>\n<p>It feels like a matter of \u201cwhen\u201d not \u201cif,\u201d and the \u201cwhen\u201d is likely coming soon. If\/when the Eagles emerge with the Patriots\u2019 first-round pick in 2028, Philly will have a direct hand in pushing that pick higher in the pecking order \u2014 the two teams will play each other during the 2027 regular season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As soon as 4:01 p.m. ET on Monday, the deal can be made.
