A.J. Brown has officially been traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the New England Patriots, marking a significant change for the star wide receiver. Following the announcement, Brown shared nostalgic photos of himself as a child in a Tom Brady jersey on Instagram, expressing his excitement for the new chapter. In a heartfelt farewell to Philadelphia, where he played for four seasons and secured a Super Bowl victory during the 2024 season, Brown thanked the fans, teammates, and staff for their support. He emphasized the special memories he created in Philadelphia and acknowledged the efforts of everyone who contributed to his experience. The trade, which allows the Eagles to alleviate a dead cap hit exceeding $40 million, brought the team a 2028 first-round draft pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder. Eagles GM Howie Roseman commented that the decision was mutually beneficial, reflecting Brown's desire for a new opportunity. With Brown joining the Patriots, he is set to become a key target for quarterback Drake Maye, following the departure of Stefon Diggs.
