Camp-Ready: Eagles Linebackers Vie for Roles as Camp Opens

As training camp opens, the Eagles’ linebackers look to lock in roles: Jihaad Campbell is poised to start at off-ball linebacker in Vic Fangio’s defense (he even switched to No. 11), Zack Baun provides veteran presence with limited camp reps, Jeremiah Trotter is the reliable depth and special-teams option, Smael Mondon must earn a roster spot, and Chance Campbell and Deontae Lawson compete for spots after injury histories. The main questions are mental mastery of Fangio’s scheme and roster math as the unit sorts itself out.

Inside the trenches: Eagles' interior defensive line depth tested at training camp

Eagles training camp will spotlight the interior defensive line, led by Jalen Carter, Jordan Davis, and Moro Ojomo, with Carter’s status a major talking point after shoulder issues and a potential contract hold-in. Davis delivered a breakout season and earned a big extension, while Ojomo showed promise; however, depth behind the trio is thin with Byron Young, Ty Robinson, Uar Bernard, Gabe Hall, Ta’Quon Graham, and Zion Wilson competing for snaps and roster spots. Robinson’s rookie year was rough; Bernard is an athletic but raw prospect; Wilson could land on the practice squad. Overall, Philly is strong at iDL (along with OT and CB), but interior depth remains a concern.

Brown’s Farewell Note Sparks Eagles Fan Backlash After Patriots Trade

A.J. Brown completed his trade from the Philadelphia Eagles to the New England Patriots and left a farewell message on the Eagles’ wall reading “The best to ever play here. Always open,” a note that stirred fan reaction amid rumors of a rift with Jalen Hurts that Eagles security officer Big Dom says are bogus. Brown had a powerful four-year run with Philly, including multiple 1,000-yard seasons and two Super Bowl appearances, but the Eagles are moving forward with DeVonta Smith and new receivers while Brown starts anew in New England.

Eagles land four prime years of AJ Brown for a light draft-price trade

The piece argues Howie Roseman’s AJ Brown trade was a major win for the Eagles, delivering four years of prime production and playoff runs in exchange for a modest first- and third-round pick, while the Patriots gain a dynamic downfield threat but must live with the two-year offset in draft value; analysts highlight the timing and sustainability-minded approach as a key factor, and discuss how the deal shapes both teams’ long-term rosters and draft strategy.

Patriots Pay Up for A.J. Brown—Coup or Overpay?

New England acquired A.J. Brown from Philadelphia by sending the Eagles a 2028 first‑round pick and a 2027 fifth‑round pick. Brown is set to turn 29 with a $32 million APY and some injury history, making the price steep, but the move could pay off if he helps the Patriots win and the 2028 pick lands late in the round. The deal was also framed by timing to move past a Vrabel–Russini distraction, though its ultimate value hinges on Brown’s performance in 2026–28.

A.J. Brown: No Bad Blood With Hurts, Relationship Has Evolved After Eagles Era

A.J. Brown says his bond with Jalen Hurts isn’t as close as it was during their Eagles years, but there’s no bad blood and there’s still love between them. He spoke on the 7PM in Brooklyn podcast, describing them as two alphas who push for greatness. The piece also notes Brown’s impact with the Eagles—consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, playoff runs, and two Super Bowl appearances—before his trade to the Patriots spread his dead cap over two seasons.

A.J. Brown Traded to Patriots in Eagles-Pats Swap

The Philadelphia Eagles traded star wide receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick; Brown must pass a physical to finalize the deal, with the Patriots inheriting the final four years of his contract and the Eagles spreading about $43.8 million in cap hits across 2026-2027. Brown becomes New England’s top target for Drake Maye and reunites with former Titans coach Mike Vrabel in their bid for a Super Bowl.
