The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McClane believes the Patriots and Ravens are now the “most likely” potential trade partners for Eagles WR A.J. Brown.

McClane first reported on the Patriots and Ravens’ interest in Brown in late February. Per McLane, the Bills “checked in” with the Eagles about trading for Brown before ultimately trading for former Bears WR DJ Moore. McLane believes Moore’s acquisition “theoretically” takes the Bills out of the running for Brown. This makes sense. The Bills guaranteed $15.5 million of Moore’s 2028 salary to facilitate the transaction. The Eagles are reportedly inclined to only deal with AFC teams.
