- Foles noted that Eagles GM Howie Roseman will strategize to balance the interests of both Brown and the team, aiming for a resolution that satisfies both parties.
- The key date for a trade is June 1, after which the Eagles would avoid salary cap penalties in 2026, making a post-June 1 trade financially advantageous.
