A.J. Brown trade from Eagles to Patriots

Overview

In July 2026, the Philadelphia Eagles traded star wide receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots. Following the move, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni stated the team would aim to replace Brown’s production through a collective effort involving multiple players rather than a single individual.

By late August, details of the trade were clarified, revealing that the Patriots acquired Brown in exchange for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick. The acquisition reunites Brown with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel, who previously coached him at the Tennessee Titans. The trade has restructured the Patriots’ wide receiver hierarchy, with Brown and Mack Hollins expected to serve as the primary X receivers.
