With the 2025 NFL Draft just days away, a bombshell rumor has emerged that could shake up the entire league: Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown is reportedly being floated in a potential trade deal with the New England Patriots.
The rumor suggests a scenario where the Eagles send Brown—and possibly additional assets—in exchange for the Patriots’ No. 4 overall pick. Philadelphia is rumored to be targeting Penn State linebacker Abdul Carter, widely considered one of the top defensive prospects in the draft.
The chatter was initially sparked by Boston-based sports commentators and has since taken over online NFL circles. Some analysts believe the idea is far-fetched, while others point out that Eagles GM Howie Roseman has a reputation for making bold, unexpected moves—especially during draft season.
A.J. Brown, who signed a massive contract extension in 2024, is coming off another stellar season. Trading him would be a shocking turn for a team still in Super Bowl contention. However, the Eagles’ defensive struggles last year have been well documented, and Carter could be a cornerstone piece for the future.
For the Patriots, the move would be a significant shift in direction. Acquiring a proven superstar like Brown would give their offense an elite target as they try to rebuild under new leadership.
Brown himself has not addressed the rumors publicly, but fans are already speculating wildly on social media, with “A.J. Brown” trending across multiple platforms.
Is this just draft week smoke—or is something major brewing behind the scenes? We’ll find out soon enough as the first round of the 2025 NFL
