Key Points:
- The Philadelphia Eagles can officially trade A.J. Brown starting June 2, allowing them to spread the dead-money charge over two years, and a trade is widely expected soon.
- Most insiders believe Brown will be traded to the New England Patriots, with Patriots players already discussing his arrival as if the deal is finalized.
- The trade may be unofficially agreed upon, pending Brown passing a physical and formal communication with the league office, following lessons from previous premature trade announcements.
- Although there is speculation about other teams like the Rams or Chiefs entering the trade market, the Rams have reportedly ruled out pursuing Brown due to medical concerns and salary cap implications.
- Current indicators strongly suggest that A.J. Brown will become a Patriot as early as June 2, barring any last-minute changes.
