Is A.J. Brown still with the Eagles?

Answered 2026-08-03 · from the ChatFFB news wiki

Short answer: Nope — A.J. Brown is a Patriot now.

The Eagles traded him to New England on June 1 for a 2028 first-rounder and a 2027 fifth-round pick. He's reuniting with Mike Vrabel (his old Titans head coach) and pairs with Romeo Doubs to give Drake Maye a formidable receiving corps.

As for what it means for both sides, here's what the experts are saying:

  • Underdog's Josh & Hayden broke it down: "It finally happened. AJ Brown is a New England Patriot." They discussed how the trade reshapes both offenses — with DeVonta Smith stepping up as WR1 in Philly and Brown pairing with Maye in New England.

  • The Fantasy Headliners called the fantasy fallout "MASSIVE," noting the trade had been anticipated since an April 30 report that it would go through on June 1.

  • Matt Harmon (Reception Perception) raised questions about Brown's recent efficiency decline, saying "the drop off is from being one of the best receivers in the NFL" — though he acknowledged he hopes he's wrong about the regression concerns.

So yes — Brown is a Patriot, and the Eagles' WR room is now led by DeVonta Smith with Hollywood Brown as the WR2.
