Roseman Lands Two 2028 First-Round Picks in A.J. Brown Trade

The Eagles sent A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots for a package led by a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder after Howie Roseman refused to accept less; Brown reunites with Mike Vrabel in New England and will work with quarterback Drake Maye, while the Rams backed out over medical concerns. Brown acknowledged public frustration with the Eagles and a drift with Jalen Hurts but stressed there’s no bad blood. Philadelphia now holds two 2028 first-rounders, providing long-term cap flexibility to pursue other players, as Brown’s injury history and durability were noted in the discussion.
