FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) --- The Philadelphia Eagles traded wide receiver A.J.
Brown to the New England Patriots on Monday.
Both teams announced the deal. The Eagles said they will receive a first-round
pick in 2028 and a fifth-round pick in 2027 in exchange for the three-time Pro
Bowler.
The trade comes after a frustrating 2025 season for Brown in Philadelphia, in
which he had grown dispirited with an Eagles offense that played uninspired
football at times while the team ultimately failed to defend its Super Bowl
title.
Brown's arrival in New England will be a reunion with coach Mike Vrabel, who
Brown played under for three seasons after being drafted by the Tennessee
Titans in 2019.
Brown, 28, quickly rose to the top receiving option in Philadelphia after being
traded by Tennessee to the Eagles in 2022.
