A.J. Brown's poor 2025 season and off-field issues have slashed his trade value, with the Eagles possibly getting only low draft picks for him.

A.J. Brown’s trade value has dropped significantly after a disappointing 2025 season, with reports indicating the Eagles may only receive a third- and fifth-round draft pick for the wide receiver. His 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns were career lows, and off-field issues, including a sideline clash with coach Nick Sirianni and a post-game standoff, fueled speculation about a trade. Despite Brown’s repeated requests to be moved, teams are hesitant due to his age, contract, and declining speed. While a trade could free $7 million in cap space, it would carry a $16.3 million dead cap hit in 2026. The Eagles are weighing whether keeping him—despite the turmoil—is better than a low-value deal, especially with DeVonta Smith and future picks as alternatives.
