A.J. Brown trade talks: Eagles want first-rounder and more for WR in 'Quinnen Williams-type deal' A.J. Brown's future with the Eagles remains uncertain as the team prepares for the upcoming free agency period. While multiple teams have expressed interest in the wide receiver, the Eagles have not yet made a trade move, according to NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo. Garafolo reported on Good Morning Football that Philadelphia is seeking a "Quinnen Williams-type deal" for Brown, which would include a first-round draft pick and a second-round selection as additional compensation. The reference to the Quinnen Williams trade involves the Jets' 2022 deal with Dallas, where they sent the defensive tackle for a 2026 second-round pick, a 2027 first-rounder, and Mazi Smith. The Eagles' asking price for Brown is considered high, as general manager Howie Roseman has not felt pressured to move the wideout. If a deal resembling the Williams transaction does not materialize, the Eagles may choose to retain Brown for another season, given his consistent performance as a 1,000-yard receiver. Garafolo emphasized that trade discussions often begin with a starting point but do not necessarily reflect the final outcome. The Eagles' approach to budgeting for free agency is also influenced by the Brown situation. Trading Brown now would result in significant dead money for the team, exceeding $40 million, which Roseman would need to address. Delaying the trade until after June 1 could reduce this financial burden, though it would also mean forfeiting draft capital for the current season. The Eagles' strategy is further complicated by their roster of free agents, including tight end Dallas Goedert. The outcome of Brown's trade negotiations in the coming week could shape how active the team is during free agency.#howie_roseman #jets #a_j_brown #mazi_smith #dallas_goeedert
