Eagles Linked to Chubb, Mayer; Brown Trade Talk

The Philadelphia Eagles are 5-2 after a Week 7 win over Minnesota in which Jalen Hurts completed 19 of 23 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns. The team remains short on pressure with just 11 sacks and has been linked to deadline moves, including reported proposals for pass rusher Bradley Chubb and Raiders tight end Michael Mayer to address the pass rush and tight end depth. Star receiver A.J. Brown has been hampered by a hamstring issue that has cost him practices and could sideline him for Week 8 against the Giants, and his recent cryptic social-media posts and uneven production this season have intensified trade speculation. Owner Jeffrey Lurie said the team will “do what’s best,” while reports indicate Howie Roseman rebuffed offseason inquiries and an anonymous league executive suggested Brown could be moved before the deadline. Critics around the league have also pointed to timing and communication problems between Hurts and Brown, and some commentators are urging greater transparency from team leadership to quiet ongoing speculation.
