The AJ Brown trade case has taken a new turn as the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots discuss potential terms of a deal. However, a significant gap remains between the two teams.
The Eagles have set a high asking price, demanding a first and a second-round draft pick or a first and a third, while the Patriots are looking at a second-round draft compensation.
This gap reflects broader questions about Brown's value on the trade market, with durability concerns and his age (29) impacting interest.
From a financial standpoint, timing could also shape any potential deal, with trading Brown after June 1 being significantly more favorable for Philadelphia, saving roughly $7 million compared to a pre-June move.
Despite the speculation, the Eagles have publicly maintained their support for Brown, with General Manager Howie Roseman stating that Brown is a 'great player' who 'loves football.'
