The biggest question of the Philadelphia Eagles’ offseason — and one of the biggest storylines in the NFL, period — is whether or not A.J. Brown will be traded.
With the possibility of Brown leaving Philadelphia, the wide receiver position will be of great interest to the Eagles at next week’s NFL Combine.
Here are five receivers Eagles fans should keep a close eye on as Howie Roseman, Nick Sirianni and the top prospects in the 2026 NFL draft descend on Indianapolis next week.
Jordyn Tyson, Arizona State: If the Eagles trade Brown and a late-round pick for a top-15 selection, Tyson would make a lot of sense. Some analysts have Tyson as their top WR in the class. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound target was prolific for Arizona State (136 catches, 1,812 yards in 2024 and 2025). He showed the ability to play all three receiver positions while constantly bodying Big 12 corners. His injury history is concerning. But Tyson has WR1 potential.
Denzel Boston, Washington: If the Eagles trade Brown for a pick in the late 20s, Boston would be a sensible selection at No. 23 overall. The 6-foot-4, 210-pounder bodied corners in the Big Ten over the last two seasons, winning jump balls and contested throws and dominating in the red zone. Boston plays fast, so don’t be turned off if he has a middling 40-yard dash time at the Combine. Boston has long-term possession receiver written all over him.
Malachi Fields, Notre Dame: Speaking of receivers bullying corners, Fields is another option. The 6-foot-4 target had a strong Senior Bowl — and with an equally impressive Combine, he could rise into the first-round conversation. But for now, he’s a Day 2 option who could be a solid WR2 if the Eagles trade Brown — or a really good WR3 if they don’t trade Brown and a big target in the passing game to help fill the void if tight end Dallas Goedert doesn’t return.
Elijah Sarratt, Indiana: Sarratt isn’t the most athletic receiver. But there’s a reason why his nickname is “Waffle House” — he’s always open. Sound familiar? If Brown is traded, Sarratt would be a plug-and-play WR2. His ridiculous body control and knack for winning one-on-one matchups was a big reason why Indiana won the national title — and a big reason why he had 118 catches for 1,787 yards and 23 touchdowns over the last two seasons.
Kevin Coleman, Missouri: Regardless of what happens with Brown, the Eagles will need a WR3 with Jahan Dotson expected to leave via free agency. Coleman was stellar at Missouri in 2025 (66 catches, 732 yards). At the Senior Bowl, he showed his off-the-line quickness and slippery route-running out of the slot. Coleman would make a lot of sense on Day 3.
