Brown could head to the trade block early this offseason. The 28-year-old finished the 2025 regular season with 1,003 receiving yards, making it his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season as well as the sixth of his career. Now two seasons removed from winning Super Bowl LIX with the Eagles in 2025, Brown is among the highest-profile players in trade speculation this offseason.

According to ESPN’s Tim McManus, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni gave more credence to Brown’s uncertain future in Philadelphia ahead of the 2026 NFL Combine.
“Will AJ be here next season? I think we’re still in a situation where I can’t guarantee how next season will play out,” Sirianni said. “I’m thinking I’ll be the coach next season, but you can’t guarantee anything after tomorrow.”
The Patriots currently have the second-highest odds to deal for Brown this offseason.New England finished the 2025 regular season ranked No. 4 in receiving yards with 4,459 yards. The rich can get richer by pursuing a trade for Brown, to pair the Mississippi native with their own 1,000-yard receiver in Stefon Diggs for next season. Only three teams had multiple 1,000-yard wide receivers last season. Brown joined Diggs as one of 19 wide receivers to accomplish the feat in 2025.
