If the Philadelphia Eagles are going to trade A.J. Brown, it would help to have multiple teams bidding on him at once.
For now, though, it sounds like the New England Patriots are the only team remaining that is interested and that Brown would like to go to.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said in a television appearance Monday that the Los Angeles Rams were involved but are now "out."
He put the Rams on a list of just two teams, along with the Patriots, that had still been in on Brown.
With no Rams left, it's just the Pats.
"The Rams looked into it deeply, but ultimately decided it was not for them," Rapoport said.
He added: "The New England Patriots have had consistent dialogue with the Eagles on A.J. Brown. They are still in it."

The Eagles seem likely to hold Brown until after June 1, because it gives them $20 million in dead cap savings.
At that point, maybe other teams will have decided to go after Brown, too.
For now, though, it sounds like New England might be standing alone.
The Patriots signed Romeo Doubs, but he hasn't been a No. 1 WR before. Maybe the best option for them is to pair Brown with Doubs.
The Eagles will have to decide if whatever New England is offering is good enough to go through with this.
