Patriots-Eagles A.J. Brown trade eyes June cap deadline
As the June 1 cap deadline looms, Patriots–Eagles trade talks for wide receiver A.J. Brown reach a pivotal phase. The deal is expected to involve a 2028 first-round pick, with Philadelphia facing a $43.5 million dead-money hit if traded before June 1 and the cap impact spread over 2026–2027; New England would incur roughly a $6.8 million cap hit for 2026, including Brown’s $1.3 million base salary and $5.49 million option bonus, making this a major offseason maneuver if completed.
