Eagles Unlikely to Trade A.J. Brown

The Philadelphia Eagles improved to 6-2 with a 38-20 win over the Giants as the defense steadied and the run game showed renewed life. Star wide receiver A.J. Brown remains the focus of persistent trade chatter after an uneven target share this season and a Week 8 hamstring absence despite a recent 121-yard, two-touchdown game. Insiders including Adam Schefter and Eagles leaders Nick Sirianni and owner Jeffrey Lurie have publicly downplayed the likelihood Brown will be moved before the Nov. 4 deadline. Other reporters, notably Mike Florio, have speculated teams — reportedly including the Patriots under Mike Vrabel — could show interest, and the Eagles have identified other movable pieces, with RB AJ Dillon mentioned following Tank Bigsby’s emergence. Philadelphia also addressed roster needs by acquiring slot corner Michael Carter II — a move reports say involved senior personnel advisor Joe Douglas — and GM Howie Roseman’s front office remains active, fielding calls selectively while prioritizing a deep postseason run.
