ESPN's Jeremy Fowler pitched a trade idea where the Philadelphia Eagles would send wide receiver A.J. Brown to the Denver Broncos.
The Philadelphia Eagles have begun listening to trade offers for wide receiver A.J. Brown. The second-team All-Pro wideout, though, isn’t going to be cheap.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported Sunday that teams see packages with a second-round pick appropriate compensation for Brown. But ESPN’s Dan Graziano added “Philly’s asking price remains too high” for most teams.
Instead of draft picks, though, could the Eagles eventually accept a trade centered around a wide receiver swap? Fowler proposed the possibility.
On Sunday, Fowler pitched the Denver Broncos as a potential trade suitor for Brown. In the deal, the Broncos would send Courtland Sutton to Philadelphia.
“During the Eagles’ offensive coordinator search, some candidates got the impression that Brown was part of the plan,” Fowler wrote. “That’s why some around the league believe Roseman could target a veteran receiver as part of any trade package …
“If Denver wants to entertain a Brown-Courtland Sutton swap.”
Sutton has posted back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns the last two years since the arrival of quarterback Bo Nix in Denver. During 2025, Sutton made the Pro Bowl with 74 receptions, 1,017 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.
Brown had 78 receptions, 1,003 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games during 2025. He didn’t make the Pro Bowl.
But Brown is a three-time Pro Bowler and has also made second-team All-Pro on three occasions. Besides the 2025 Pro Bowl, Sutton’s only other post-season accolade was the Pro Bowl in 2019.
