NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports there are “just a select few teams that would meet the criteria of the Philadelphia Eagles and of A.J. Brown himself” for a potential trade.

Rumors have been swirling around the Eagles trading A.J. Brown, but the team has blockbuster criteria for a potential deal. NFL Network and Rapoport are reporting the Eagles would like a first-round pick and more in the deal and there are only a few teams that can offer that return which Brown would like to be traded to. Brown and the Eagles have had their fair share of tension of the 28-year-old’s target numbers, landing him in these trade rumors. A team like the Patriots would certainly have the cap space and the need for a WR1, but whether they can pay the draft capital required to get him will be the question. Brown is the top receiver seemingly available to be acquired this offseason, though the Eagles retaining him is also a likely scenario.
