With the NFL offseason upon us and free agency kicking off next week, it seems more and more apparent that A.J. Brown's time with the Philadelphia Eagles is coming to an end.
Drafted 51st overall by the Tennessee Titans in the 2019 NFL Draft, the wide receiver burst onto the scene after being traded to the Eagles in 2022, recording consecutive 1,400-yard seasons and helping guide Philly to a berth in Super Bowl LVII.
The Mississippi product would help the Eagles get over the line in 2024 with a touchdown reception in a 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.
But things haven't been rosy for the three-time Pro Bowler over the last two seasons, as Brown has complained about his usage and role in the team on multiple occasions.
In 2025, the 28-year-old put up his worst statistical season since the 2021 season, catching 78 passes for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns. Philadelphia topped the NFC East with an 11-6 record, but fell to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round.
It seems the situation has come to a head, with the relationship between Brown and the Eagles all but broken. But what will it take to get Brown out of Philadelphia?
Brown's Asking Price Revealed

According to NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo, the Eagles are looking for a "Quinnen Williams-type deal" for Brown. Williams, a star defensive tackle, was traded by the New York Jets to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2026 second-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick and defensive tackle Mazi Smith.
The asking price may seem high, but Eagles general manager Howie Roseman isn't feeling too much pressure to move the wideout, considering Brown is under contract until 2029.
"That’s kind of where it is for the Eagles to start to consider moving A.J. Brown. If they don’t get close to that point or to that point, I don’t think Howie Roseman moves him. I think he keeps A.J. Brown in the fold. He’s a really good player. He is highly valued inside that building," Garafolo reported on Wednesday.
However, the Brown situation is affecting how Roseman and the Eagles are approaching the offseason, as trading the receiver before June 1 would create more than $40 million in dead money. Waiting could be risky as well, with Philly likely looking to maximize their draft compensation ahead of next month's NFL Draft.
