The highly anticipated trade between the Eagles and Patriots for A.J. Brown might finally reach its conclusion soon, with the magic June 2 date hitting this Tuesday. Trading the wide receiver after June 1 allows the Eagles to split his dead salary cap money over two years ($16 million this year, $27 million next year) instead of taking all $43 million in 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

But just because the Eagles can trade Brown early in the week doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it\u2019s going to happen right away. NFL Network reported Thursday that the Eagles and Patriots are \u201cnot particularly close,\u201d and it\u2019s easy to see why.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One, by all accounts, the Patriots are the only team involved in the trade talks. Were another team interested in trading for Brown, the Eagles surely would have leaked it by now. The Eagles may want a first-round pick in return, but the Patriots are negotiating against themselves and have the leverage.<\/span><\/p>\n
