The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to trade star wide receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots. However, the deal is likely to be delayed until June 1. The delay is due to NFL rules regarding cap hits for trades. If the Eagles trade Brown before June 1, they will take a $40 million cap hit in 2026. Trading after June 1 allows them to split this hit between 2026 and 2027, preserving some financial flexibility. Brown signed a three-year, $96 million extension with the Eagles in 2024. The trade is considered likely, with the Patriots still highly interested in acquiring Brown.
