ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky has emphasized the necessity of trading A.J. Brown for the Philadelphia Eagles, especially in light of the New England Patriots' reported interest. Adam Schefter noted that the Patriots are 'highly interested' in Brown, with potential discussions expected to ramp up after June 1 to help the Eagles manage their salary cap. Orlovsky stated, 'This is going to happen,' suggesting that both parties recognize a trade is in their best interest. Despite Brown's accomplishments, including a Super Bowl win and three second-team All-Pro selections, his performance dipped last season with a career-low average of 12.9 yards per catch. Orlovsky pointed out that the relationship between Brown and the Eagles has deteriorated, and he doesn't believe Brown fits well with new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's plans, which may focus more on utilizing multiple tight ends rather than a receiver-heavy approach. While trading Brown would leave a significant gap, Orlovsky believes it is the best move for both sides.
