Eagles Send Farewell Message to AJ Brown After Patriots Trade
· Yahoo Sports
After what seemed like months of frustration in Philadelphia throughout last season, the Philadelphia Eagles officially traded star wide receiver A.J. Brown on Monday.

As expected, the team acquiring Brown was the New England Patriots, who had been linked to the veteran receiver for more than a month. New England was widely viewed as the most likely destination once June 1 arrived due to the cap relief the move would provide Philadelphia.
In return, the Eagles received a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick, bringing an end to Brown’s four-year tenure in Philadelphia. During that span, he played a pivotal role in the franchise’s Super Bowl victory during the 2024-25 season.
Shortly after the trade became official, the Eagles made it a priority to send Brown a farewell message.
“Thank you for everything, A.J.,” the team wrote.
Philadelphia also shared a video tribute celebrating Brown’s time with the organization, calling it “an incredible four seasons in Philly.”

Brown has developed into one of the NFL‘s premier wide receivers over the course of a career that began with the Tennessee Titans, where he played under coach Mike Vrabel. That connection should help make the transition to the New England Patriots a smooth one, as Vrabel is entering his second season as the team’s head coach.
Brown has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in six of his seven NFL seasons and has accumulated 524 receptions, 8,029 receiving yards, and 56 touchdowns during his career.
He now joins a Patriots team coming off a Super Bowl appearance and a receiving corps that includes Romeo Doubs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams, and DeMario Douglas.
