A.J. Brown Says Philadelphia Is Home as Eagles Weigh Options Before NFL Combine

Reports indicate the team will address his status at the NFL Combine under heavy dead‑cap constraints.

Overview

  • In a podcast appearance with Micah Parsons, Brown called Philadelphia home, voiced optimism about 2026, and praised former OC Kevin Patullo while welcoming change under new staff.
  • The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports Brown’s standing with the Eagles remains unresolved and somewhat tenuous, with substantive talks expected to ramp up in Indianapolis in two weeks.
  • Over The Cap estimates a roughly $43.5 million dead‑cap charge if Brown is traded before June 1, making timing a central factor in any potential move.
  • Philadelphia has reshaped its offensive staff, removing Patullo and hiring Sean Mannion as offensive coordinator, along with additional offensive hires reported this week.
  • Potential suitors mentioned in coverage include the Steelers, Patriots and Bills, with speculative interest from the Broncos, though no formal trade discussions have been reported.
