The latest update on the A.J. Brown saga has made things a little clearer as to where the Philadelphia Eagles‘ star wide receiver will be playing next year.
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Los Angeles Rams are no longer interested in trading for Brown, leaving the New England Patriots as the lone suitor. It was once a competitive market for Brown, but considering the price, contract and age, many teams do not want to give up the draft capital required to trade for him.
Momentum for a Brown trade started heating up last week, when his market was at its highest, but now it has gotten a lot quieter. It is now more likely than ever that Brown will remain an Eagle.
According to an insider, Dianna Russini, Brown will not be moved at this time, and a potential date to target is June 1, when he could be dealt. This makes things financially easier for the Eagles from a cap space standpoint, but it reduces their leverage in a trade.
