The Philadelphia Eagles are not expected to trade their star wide receiver AJ Brown before the NFL trade deadline on November 4. According to ESPN, while other teams are interested in Brown, the Eagles are not actively looking to move him unless they receive a "blockbuster offer." Brown, a three-time Pro Bowler, has been a key part of the Eagles' offense since joining the team in 2022 from the Tennessee Titans.
Despite missing the recent game against the New York Giants due to a hamstring injury, there is optimism that Brown will return to the field after the Eagles' bye week on November 10. His absence has highlighted his importance to the team, as the Eagles' offense has struggled without him. Brown has expressed frustration with the offense this season, even posting a cryptic message on social media, but he reaffirmed his commitment to Philadelphia, stating, "This is my home."
The New York Post reports that Brown's performance has been inconsistent this season, yet he remains a valuable asset, having surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in five of his six NFL seasons. The Eagles are currently leading the NFC East with a 5-2 record, and they appear focused on maintaining their competitive edge rather than trading away key players.
