Patriots Rival Listed As Top Trade Landing Spot For A.J. Brown

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox just released an article updating the trade value for a few notable NFL players, and A.J. Brown featured on the list.

Knox believes Brown’s trade value is something like a package featuring a 2026 5th-Round Pick, 2026 Late-Round Pick Swap, and a Conditional 2027 Third-Round Pick. 

Knox also listed the Buffalo Bills as the top landing spot for Brown.

“A.J. Brown’s trade value shouldn’t be substantially impacted by the draft pool,” Knox wrote on Monday. “The three-time Pro Bowler is a legitimate No. 1 target when at his best. However, he’ll turn 29 in June, and it feels like his stint with the Philadelphia Eagles has run its course.”

“With Brown struggling to be a centerpiece of the offense and Philly bowing out in the wild-card round, now’s probably the right time to move the talented pass-catcher. Of course, Brown’s contract, which still includes $72.5 million in dead money, complicates matters for the Eagles. Presumably, they’ll try to convince a trade partner to take on some of that dead money.”

“Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer recently projected on The Breer Report … that Brown might bring a third-round pick and a Day 3 pick swap,” Knox continued. “The prediction here is that he instead brings a conditional 2027 third-rounder that could become a second-round pick with certain statistical thresholds.”

“Who might be willing to take on Brown this offseason? The Buffalo Bills loom as a logical trade partner. The reloading Bills desperately need to find a true No. 1 target for Josh Allen, and Brown would be a massive upgrade over every other receiver on Buffalo’s roster.”
