The rumor mill continues to spin around Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown this offseason. The disgruntled wideout has been the source of trade rumors for months, and now, more information has been revealed regarding a potential landing spot.
Many league sources believe the New England Patriots will eventually trade for Brown, who has expressed his Patriots fandom on several occasions and has a relationship with coach Mike Vrabel dating back to their time together in Tennessee.
However, The Athletic's Diana Russini reports the Los Angeles Rams have been involved in negotiations for Brown this offseason as well.
The Rams already have a pair of star wideouts in Puke Nacua and Davante Adams, but adding Brown to the mix would definitely give Los Angeles the best receiver room in the NFL. It's possible one of those names could be included in a potential deal, but details on the trade pieces involved remain unclear.
According to Russini, the Rams and Eagles discussed a trade before the Rams acquired cornerback Trent McDuffie from the Chiefs and signed him to an extension that made him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history.
Since that deal, negotiations between the teams have slowed, but the Rams are still closely monitoring the situation and could swoop in to make a trade before the NFL Draft.
Brown, entering his eighth season, is still a top receiver in the league. He has recorded at least 1,000 receiving yards in all but one season of his career, but has had consistent conflicts with Eagles coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback Jalen Hurts that have led to the point where a trade seems likely to happen at some point.
The Eagles acquired Brown from the Titans in a draft-day deal widely seen as a massive win for Philadelphia, and the organization went on to win a Super Bowl as well.
The situation is fluid and could reach a conclusion at any moment. For now, keep your eyes on the NFC contender in trade talks.
