The Locked On Eagles podcast delves into the impending trade of star wide receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots, confirming what has been speculated for months. Hosts Harry Mays, Louis DiBiase, Jason Martinez, and Mark Farzetta analyze the implications of the deal, which is expected to close after June 1st due to cap considerations. They discuss Brown’s desire for a high-volume role and the perception that he was never fully content in Philadelphia’s run-first offense, despite his three All-Pro seasons and Super Bowl victory. The hosts debate whether the Eagles are making a strategic move to rebuild through future draft picks, particularly in the offensive line, and express mixed emotions about losing Brown, acknowledging his impact while questioning the long-term vision. The conversation shifts to the draft, with speculation about the Eagles targeting a veteran edge rusher like Jonathan Gennard or a high-upside receiver in the first two rounds, and how the loss of Brown will increase pressure on Jalen Hurts to elevate the offense. The episode also touches on the broader narrative of franchise evolution, with questions about Howie Roseman’s long-term plan and whether the Eagles are preparing for a new era under a revamped offensive scheme led by Sean Mannion.
A.J. Brown is expected to be traded to the New England Patriots after June 1st, not on draft day, due to cap and leverage considerations.
The Eagles are likely using the trade to rebuild their offensive line and future draft capital, potentially acquiring multiple picks including 2028 selections.
Brown’s departure is driven by his desire to be the primary offensive weapon in a pass-heavy system, not just a top-tier receiver in a balanced offense.
The loss of Brown increases pressure on Jalen Hurts to carry the offense, especially with a new offensive coordinator and a less dominant receiving corps.
The Eagles are expected to target an offensive lineman or a high-upside receiver in the first two rounds of the draft, with Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper as top prospects.
