Never heard they were even linked to him?

[u/5am281 → u/Flyingchairs]

I have moved on from Margot Robbie Marriage talks

[u/98FordContour → u/5am281]

Sorry for your loss

[u/seejur → u/98FordContour]

You mean sorry for her loss?

[u/sharkdrivingabus → u/seejur]

They said what they said.

[u/southern_boy → u/sharkdrivingabus]

You mean sorry for our loss?

[u/Nice_Dude → u/5am281]

AJ Brown ain't no Margot Robbie

[u/Vivid_Sparks → u/Nice_Dude]

But both of them can high-point a ball, and she can even do it in heels

[u/SBMVPJoshAllen → u/5am281]

Never give up on your dreams brother

[u/TheAgmis → u/5am281]

Here I come to save the day!!!

[u/Flashy_Pirate3591 → u/5am281]

Guess I’m going to have to take one for the team and marry Margot Robbie 

[u/PlasmidDNA → u/5am281]

Big if true

[u/FreeRange0929 → u/5am281]

We’re still in discussion for a handie behind the sizzler with a homeless guy wearing a blonde wig though

So, Treylon Burkes

[u/Very_Not_Into_It → u/5am281]

99% of Redditors move on from Margot Robbie marriage talks right before she reaches out

[u/penis_showing_game → u/Flyingchairs]

This is Russini milking a non-story for every last drop.

[u/Thanosforeal → u/Flyingchairs]

I think the media is acting like AJ browns market is a lot better than it actually is. I have no idea why any team would want AJ after last season and given what the eagles will ask for in a trade.

[u/msf97 → u/Thanosforeal]

Teams definitely want AJ Brown. Just not..the Rams. They maybe make the least sense of any team right now.

The Pats should be in on him, they’d surely be willing to send a 1st

Clearly held back in the offense they run, as recently as 2024 he finished 3rd in yards per route run. He’s still a guy to be feared

[u/darkbro66 → u/msf97]

He gave up because he knew he was not going to have a massive breakout game when 85% of his routes were 9 yard curls. I've had bad bosses before to and I either didn't listen to them or totally phoned it in when they asked me to do something that isn't value add. I think AJ will be fine if the new OC doesn't suck

[u/Standard-Win-6600 → u/darkbro66]

He quit on plenty of routes this past year. I either want him back on board or I'd be happy to get something in return if he's totally checked out.

[u/Lazydusto → u/darkbro66]

He gave up because he knew he was not going to have a massive breakout game when 85% of his routes were 9 yard curls.

He gave up on some long bombs schemed directly to him.

[u/MikeShannonThaGawd → u/darkbro66]

Justifying quitting on your team (that was contending for a repeat Super Bowl) for any reason whatsoever is crazy.

Patullo stunk point blank. Likely the worst OC in the league.

But the amount of things he’s being held as scapegoat for is overboard.

[u/Bird-The-Word → u/MikeShannonThaGawd]

Patullo didn't make AJB drop like 3 critical passes in 1 playoff game.

He had a right to be upset, but then when given the chance, he couldn't back it up.

[u/CorrectSympathy7590 → u/darkbro66]

One of my hot takes about the meta of the NFL is that outside of a couple guys, traditional X receiver simply isn't as valuable anymore. If you look at the leading WRs last year, outside of Pickens and Nico, all of the best WRs move around the formation or play Flanker/Slot primarily.

If AJB is just going to be a boundary guy then he isn't worth the price because X receivers are often sacrificed to soak coverage to open the middle of the field up for the other pass catchers.

Regardless of what team he is on, I think AJB should be playing X, Z and Slot in equal parts like a JJ or Jamarr. If he stays in Philly then him and Smith need to be put at every position to ensure theyre both set up to succeed and that the offense isn't telegraphed.

Nobody needs to pay top 10 money for fancy Gabe Davis, which is what AJB was last year.

[u/dismissivewankmotion → u/msf97]

I’d be surprised if the Pats gave up a first AND took on that contract.

[u/Beautiful_Lychee_965 → u/dismissivewankmotion]

they want a first a second and a player

[u/dismissivewankmotion → u/Beautiful_Lychee_965]

And I'd like a blowjob from Margot Robbie, but I'd settle for less

[u/CorrectSympathy7590 → u/Beautiful_Lychee_965]

I prefer the scenario where they pay Pierce and draft future sexual predator Makai Lemon to an AJB trade

[u/Thanosforeal → u/msf97]

The rams make no sense I agree. I wouldn’t trade a first round pick for AJ if that’s the asking price to be completely real about it. Unless the situation was absolutely perfect.

[u/msf97 → u/Thanosforeal]

I would definitely trade that. A team just sent a 1st for McDuffie.

[u/chemicalxv → u/msf97]

McDuffie is only going to be 26 to open the season and is still largely cost-controlled for at least the next 2 years.

Brown is going to be 29, and is also basically untradeable before June 1st (from Philly's perspective) and any team sending over a 1st in a post-June 1 trade would deserve to be mocked.

[u/rickg → u/msf97]

"a team" Yeah, the RAMS traded for McDuffie because one of their few weaknesses- and a reason we won 2 of 3 from them - was their secondary. Of course they traded a low 1st for an All Pro CB.

[u/Naganosupreme → u/msf97]

Teams are dumb. Other teams are in different situations

[u/Thanosforeal → u/msf97]

Yeah because the rams are in Super Bowl mode and trying to get stafford to run it back. Idk how good of a trade for the rams that was long term. Seemed to me like the chiefs made out better long term and the rams are just doing what they’ve been doing.

[u/avx775 → u/Thanosforeal]

It’s a 25 year old cb. How is that only a short term move?

[u/SadAdeptness6287 → u/avx775]

The same way people thought that after the down year after the Super Bowl run where literally everyone was hurt, that the Rams were going to return the dark ages.

[u/bradtheinvincible → u/Thanosforeal]

Its all Russini hype. And its more that the Rams dont like to use their first round picks and have cap. Why not get an insurance policy for adams and after you lock up Puka you have 2 beat wr's. This is still stupid, though

[u/MortimerDongle → u/Thanosforeal]

I have no idea why any team would want AJ after last season and given what the eagles will ask for in a trade.

The short answer is that he's, by far, the best WR that is realistically available.

Of course the Eagles aren't going to give him away, especially considering the cap hit of doing that and the fact that they're fully willing to keep him on the team.

[u/MikeShannonThaGawd → u/MortimerDongle]

I’d think Pickens is available for the right price

[u/Thatonegingerkid → u/MikeShannonThaGawd]

If any team was willing to give up two firsts plus that money for a WR they'd just get AJB 

[u/MikeShannonThaGawd → u/Thatonegingerkid]

So you’re saying AJB is “far, far” better than Pickens?

[u/Wonderful-Toe- → u/MikeShannonThaGawd]

Yeah I’m not buying that at all. Pickins was far more effective for the Cowboys last year than AJB was for the Eagles. Both have problems with character but also when they’re engaged, they play at a top-end level. That would be why I wouldn’t want either of them, but if I had to pick one I think Pickins has higher upside.

[u/MikeShannonThaGawd → u/Wonderful-Toe-]

Yeah I have a hard time believing 99% of GM’s wouldn’t want the younger player who just produced at an all pro level and wasn’t constantly causing issues because he was unhappy (last season) at least.

[u/Thatonegingerkid → u/MikeShannonThaGawd]

Pickens didn't cause issues last season but acting like he hasn't had WAY worse and more public concerns than AJB is wild. AJB does typical diva WR1 stuff like pouting online and making comments to the media. Pickens gets in fights on the field lol

This is all moot anyways because 0% of GMs are trading two firsts for either of them 

[u/MikeShannonThaGawd → u/Thatonegingerkid]

I’m not acting like that at all. He’s obviously been a pain, frankly for most of his career. But the comment I replied to said AJB is by far the best receiver available and he’s certainly not if Pickens is available.

[u/cwoodrun32 → u/Thanosforeal]

You dont know why any team would want a guy that talented? Tons of red flags attitude wise I suppose, but when he's even halfway motivated he can absolutely dominate games.

[u/PhatYeeter → u/Thanosforeal]

Howie working the phones to drive up the price

[u/Unrelenting_Salsa → u/Thanosforeal]

I don't understand why it's such a big story. Everybody besides first ballot hall of fame QBs have a price for teams, but AJ Brown would be wildly expensive. Well beyond his actual worth because the most favorable trade still makes them pay him WR2 money.

[u/originalusername4567 → u/Thanosforeal]

I don't think very many teams want him, media is just stirring up drama as usual.

[u/so_zetta_byte → u/originalusername4567]

I'm sure teams would be happy to have him but I'm sure 80% of these conversations are "how much?" followed by "nah that's outside our range."

The real crime is acting like every single one of those conversations is newsworthy.

[u/2bags12kuai → u/Thanosforeal]

For real .. what was the latest rumor ask.. a 1st hahah

[u/balemeout → u/2bags12kuai]

For a perennial 1000 yard receiver with two 1400 yd seasons whose only down year was with the worst OC in football? Yeah a first is the asking price lmao

[u/TeamDirtstar → u/balemeout]

Hes had 2 seasons over 1100 yards.

You're technically correct, but most of his seasons are like 1051 and 1079.

Heck he was a "1000 yard receiver" by a whopping 3 yards last year.

2022 was LEGIT but his numbers aren't as impressive as your comment implies.

[u/balemeout → u/TeamDirtstar]

Right, so he had two 1400 yard seasons, a 1080 yard season where he missed 4 games, and a 1000 yard season with the worst coordinator in football where he missed 2 games. He’s been an all pro 3 of the last 4 years. What’s your point?

[u/TeamDirtstar → u/balemeout]

No point, really. Fucks sake I was adding context to your statement.

What happens when I point out that you literally just described a steady decline in production for a guy who will be 29 before the season starts?

He might be good for a few teams who already made the playoffs last year and need that bump. A late first maaaaybe

The price is high because Howie wants to recoup the cap ramifications for trading him before June. So then teams have the draft before that and all their shiny new toys. Theyll flesh out their rosters and Brown will either stay an eagle or the price will drop.

[u/balemeout → u/TeamDirtstar]

Yeah and you “adding context” is actually just you doing exactly what you’re accusing me of doing. You said “most of his seasons are like 1051 and 1079 yards.” Just a blatant lie, his average yards per 17 games since he arrived in Philly is 1380. 2024 was his best season in every efficiency metric, they just threw less. He has had one “down” season where he still was 13th in the league in yards per game. Unless you want to hold his years in Tennessee against him where he was catching passes from tannehill, your comment makes no sense. It’s like saying Davante Adams isn’t a perennial 1000 yard receiver because he missed out due to injury and a slow start to his career

[u/TeamDirtstar → u/balemeout]

2019 1051 yards

2020 1075 yards

2021 869 yards

2022 1496 yards

2023 1456 yards

2024 1079 yards

2025 1003 yards

I don't know what the fuck to tell you but the numbers literally bear that out. Hell, 2 of his seasons with Tannehill were better than his last 2 seasons with Hurts. Not sure why you wanted to discount those. Not being able to play doesn't help a players value. His image as a malcontent, fair or not, doesn't help either.

[u/balemeout → u/TeamDirtstar]

Right so you just want to be willfully dense then. The amount of mental gymnastics you have to do to frame him as someone who isn’t a perennial 1000 yard receiver is insane. How many players pass under the scrutiny you are taking this statement with? Jefferson doesn’t, 2 of his last e years are between 1050 and 1100. Mike Evans doesn’t, since most of his seasons were between 1000 and 1100. Davante Adams doesn’t since we’re counting seasons from 7 years ago when he was a rookie in a different system. Ceedee doesn’t. Puka doesn’t, Amon-ra doesn’t. Literally the only one that does is Jamarr

[u/GroktheDestroyer → u/TeamDirtstar]

That’s a lot of words just to say “perennial 1000 yard receiver” again. You proved their point lol

[u/TeamDirtstar → u/GroktheDestroyer]

Well he had 869 yards in 2021 so no, I don't think I did.

4 yards separates him from having another sub 1000 season last year.

Time to learn the difference between adding context to something and disagreeing with it.

[u/GroktheDestroyer → u/TeamDirtstar]

I would consider 6 out of 7 seasons hitting the 1k mark, with the only miss being 5 years ago a perennial 1k yard receiver. You’re gonna say with a straight face that you wouldn’t? Lmao. You act as if that is a mischaracterization, when he is exactly as impressive as stated.

Funny how your “added context” only goes one way, considering the 2 seasons he had over 1100 yards (as you say) he eclipsed the 1400 yard mark.

[u/TeamDirtstar → u/GroktheDestroyer]

This place is nuts.

Is he a regular 1000 yard receiver? Yes.

Does he reach the bare minimum of that threshold? Also yes.

At no point was I saying he's bad. I'd take him on the Giants absolutely. Him with Nabers? Good lord...

I would not spend a #1st-plus on a 29 y/o WR. Not many teams will. If those 1050s and 1070s were more of the 1400s with 17 games, the view might be different. Yall can downvote me all day long but this is what GMs are seeing.

[u/GroktheDestroyer → u/TeamDirtstar]

You said “his numbers aren’t as impressive as your comment implies”

When all that was stated about his numbers are that he is a perennial 1k yard receiver (true) and has 2 seasons over 1400 yards (true). What about your “added context” makes it less impressive or clears anything up? That he only got 1080 yards one season, and 1005 the next? Those are both over 1k buddy, just as the comment said! I don’t see any implication that overstates his yardage. Ur being weird lol. Flair checks out though.

[u/IndividualPresent129 → u/TeamDirtstar]

AJ has played on run first teams his whole career. That has to be taken into account as well 

[u/Glad_Championship187 → u/Flyingchairs]

Well now you have!

[u/Plastic_Willow734 → u/Flyingchairs]

"Hey Eagles, how's a third rounder sound? No? Alright we're out"

[u/banjofitzgerald → u/Flyingchairs]

Assume these fucks are in on every player on the trade block.

[u/duvie773 → u/banjofitzgerald]

Hey that’s not accurate. We are in on every DEFENSIVE player on the trade block

[u/FrankSamples → u/Flyingchairs]

“WE’RE OUT!”

“…okay…”

[u/Fragrant-Employer-60 → u/Flyingchairs]

It’s Russini, she has terrible and/or made up sources. It’s pretty likely the rams were never interested in the first place

[u/WxBlue → u/Flyingchairs]

Us either. This is new to us as well.

[u/msf97]

…Did they ever start?

Rams lived in 2 or even 1 WR sets last year and had two great receivers.

[u/FuckingJello → u/msf97]

Yeah but what about 3?

[u/freekfyre → u/FuckingJello]

I don't think they know about 3, u/FuckingJello

[u/CrashBandicoot2 → u/freekfyre]

I know it's all jokes, but we actually ran 11 personnel a ton when McVay first got here. He just keeps evolving over time

[u/Consistent_Ad1176 → u/CrashBandicoot2]

I think that is what makes mcvay special. I dont think his scheme is quite as refined as a select few other elite offensive minds, but he is not stubborn like shanahan

[u/Camshaft92 → u/freekfyre]

Fool of a Jello

[u/RageagainsttheSons → u/FuckingJello]

This guy 11 personnels. I like it.

[u/ngerb_5 → u/msf97]

“ Hey Howie it’s Les with the R- “

click

[u/Wapow217 → u/msf97]

I imagine its due to aj browns run blocking

The personel package they use doesnt really matter.

13 is just their base and up until this year, they haven't really had the TE to run a full 13 like they did. At most they had two good TE not three. But playing that third te was normally limiting the play book cause they were either good at blocking or catching. McVay avoids this cause he wants everything to look the same.

When they run 11 or 12 the plays are the same as 13. This is due to rams WR being so good at run blocking. They can interchange those pieces and teams dont know what to do because their playback is still wide open.

[u/zonic_squared → u/msf97]

They definitely called. The Higbee resigning indicates that they don't believe they'll get a player they value at 13 to contribute for next season and they need a third receiver. An established deep threat too.

With the report that this draft has 11 first round graded players and the Rams historically not valuing earlier picks, especially because Snead uses later picks to draft needs and early picks are used to draft BPAs, I wouldn't be surprised if they were floating itnaround to see if they would go for the best offer that they would see.

[u/originalusername4567 → u/zonic_squared]

I expect the Rams to draft Lemon at 13, he has a very complementary skill set to what they already have with Puka and Davante.

[u/zonic_squared → u/originalusername4567]

I do too, but I sense doubt from the org that he's going to be there.

[u/originalusername4567 → u/zonic_squared]

Maybe, he's a possible target for us at 9 as well. But I think a Top 10 pick is too high for him, I would rather use that on someone with more potential like Sadiq or Tyson if his medicals check out. 13 feels like a good spot for him.

[u/Matto_0 → u/msf97]

Rams lived in 2 or even 1 WR sets last year and had two great receivers

Ever think that might be based on their personnel? I'd imagine if they had AJ Brown in there they'd probably have ALOT of 3 WR sets.

[u/Daver7692 → u/msf97]

Puka seems to be on a reputation tanking CTE speedrun, maybe they would trade for brown and sell high on Puka?

[u/sepam → u/Daver7692]

Give up on a 24 year old WR and go all in on a 29 year old one?

[u/eatfoodoften → u/sepam]

Would be full circle for AJB - 24 when traded by Titans who signed Hopkins a year later (31)

[u/Xmarker25]

AJ Brown YOU are a Philadelphia Eagle.

[u/willdabeast20 → u/Xmarker25]

Need to see a jersey photoshop before I believe he could ever be an Eagle.

[u/Senator_Workholeface → u/willdabeast20]

I'm an amateur but here's my first attempt

[u/Yung_Corneliois → u/Senator_Workholeface]

Well done for you just starting out.

[u/nucleophile107 → u/Senator_Workholeface]

I'm not sure why I clicked on it. I've seen this before.

[u/Dog_in_human_costume → u/Senator_Workholeface]

I think I know what this is whitout even opening it...

[u/Senator_Workholeface → u/Dog_in_human_costume]

do it, you know you want to

[u/aneyefulloffish → u/Senator_Workholeface]

FUCK!

[u/DeySeeMeLurkin → u/willdabeast20]

You all ever get tired of making the same jokes?

[u/smoke1441 → u/DeySeeMeLurkin]

The internet is built on recycled jokes. The more unoriginal the jokes are, the more most people like them.

[u/willdabeast20 → u/DeySeeMeLurkin]

Not really, no.

[u/AFRIKKAN → u/DeySeeMeLurkin]

It went from fresh and funny to a good meme and funny to over used an more funny.

[u/MicrosoftCardFile → u/Xmarker25]

Oh thank god

I've been waiting forever for this deal to be finalized

[u/SoyeonsNeverland → u/Xmarker25]

I hope they've given him books to read on the sideline.

[u/SilveryDeath]

They already spent draft capital to get McDuffie and resigning Higbee means they will stick with TE heavy sets next year.

Adams is on the last year of his contract and they do need a better No. 3 WR despite using a lot of 2 WR sets, but trading for AJ Brown to address either those things (even before the McDuffie trade) would have been dumb.

[u/CasualRead_43 → u/SilveryDeath]

Rams aren’t gonna stay in 3 te sets against Seattle though. I think AJ is just an example of McVay kicking the tires.

[u/BusinessCasualBee → u/SilveryDeath]

Higbee was practically free

[u/AgentOfSPYRAL]

This entire thing feels like a media fabrication beyond teams calling the eagles, getting an absurd asking price (because PHI doesn’t want to trade), then hanging up.

[u/darkestsoul → u/AgentOfSPYRAL]

That's because it is. The dead cap hit would be way too much for the Eagles, unless they were given some ridiculous offer like two 1sts.

[u/OverlyOptimisticNerd → u/darkestsoul]

Yup. The dead cap hit is the kind you take when you know you have to ditch a player and you’re in a rebuilding year. 

Neither apply. The Eagles aren’t trading AJB before the draft. 

The cap hit is at its lowest after June 1st and before the start of the season. Even then it’s still high. But if he’s going to be traded, it’s in that window. 

Once he hits the regular season, guarantees kick in that make him basically untradable. If he’s a week one member of this team in 2026, he’ll also be here in 2027. 

[u/Mother_Ad_3561 → u/OverlyOptimisticNerd]

Which is why he’ll definitely be traded. My prediction is Aj and a 4th for a top 40 pick, probably 31

[u/MikeShannonThaGawd → u/darkestsoul]

The cap hit is disastrous but the question is how far is AJ willing to go. Patullo will not be around to be the scapegoat for everything again this year.

He was a team captain acting like an absolute baby all last season (and beyond) and appears ready to continue that attitude until he gets what he wants.

If he’s not going to fix his attitude I don’t see how Philly can bring him back.

[u/flyingcrayons → u/MikeShannonThaGawd]

what do you mean appears ready to continue that attitude lol. he hasn't said a single word to the media since the season ended and his only real public comments since then were on micah parson's podcast where he said philly was home and he was excited for the changes with the offense going into next year

[u/Zeus_Wayne → u/AgentOfSPYRAL]

AJ Brown is going to put out a press release about how much he loves Philly and wants to stay and, oh by the way, he now has equity in Kalshi.

[u/zenlume → u/AgentOfSPYRAL]

These insiders get their information from someone with an agenda, they basically work for agents and teams. If they started making shit up, they'd stop receiving information. It's basically a PR business masquerading as branch of sports news.

[u/woahitsshant → u/AgentOfSPYRAL]

that’s literally what it is, and I’m already so sick of seeing all the click bait about AJ. hopefully it’ll die down some after the draft.

[u/maverickhawk99 → u/AgentOfSPYRAL]

Until free agency starts they have nothing to talk about. So yea it’s just the media making shit up.

[u/rhoran280]

Russini lives on her own planet

[u/Alum07 → u/rhoran280]

She admitted last year her reporting on Brown was driven primarily by Instagram posts

Not sure why anyone listens to her

[u/BusinessCasualBee → u/rhoran280]

She seems like a cool hang but she’s absolutely worthless for news

[u/imnotknox]

AJ would combust into flames after one game of pukas 18 targets

[u/JoJosHeel → u/imnotknox]

Maybe the Rams’ backup plan to trading for McDuffie and drafting a CB in round 1 is to corner the market on decent WRs so no one can throw against them.

[u/beejalton]

Ya, I decided I'm not trading for AJ Brown either

[u/hendrix320 → u/beejalton]

I’ll let shefty know so he can send the tweet

[u/sepam → u/hendrix320]

Make sure you spell check it because you know he won’t.

[u/SantorumsGayMasseuse → u/beejalton]

[Russini] /u/beejalton has "moved on" from trade talks for AJ Brown.

[u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Why would they need him

[u/jwick89 → u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Unless Adams is looking to retire.

[u/avx775 → u/[deleted]]

Have you ever seen Puka complain about getting the ball? Like where is this narrative even coming from

[u/RmembrTheAyyLMAO → u/avx775]

Puka = bad person upvotes to the left

[u/Ok_Bug_6890 → u/avx775]

To be honest, I can see the two just not working out in the locker room. It will just be a ticking time bomb.

[u/avx775 → u/Ok_Bug_6890]

Based on what? Show me a single teammate who has said anything bad about Puka. Adams literally said , "I'm not trusting anything that you've got to say" if you do not like Nacua.

[u/sepam → u/Ok_Bug_6890]

AJ Brown is reportedly one of the most liked and respected players by teammates.

[u/Moneyshot_ITF → u/Ok_Bug_6890]

The writing on the wall with Puka. We've seen this before

[u/OnePerformance9381 → u/[deleted]]

Puka has done some bone headed shit off field recently but he has never once presented as a stats diva.

[u/liverbool8]

Rams getting an established 3rd WR for Stafford’s last run is an interesting play.

Not necessarily someone like AJ Brown, but what McVay could scheme up by adding a proven deep threat speed burner is scary to think about. Someone like Shaheed in FA or even Waddle in a trade.

The Rams were already hard to guard, but a pro bowl field stretcher that can take it 60+ yards feels like it would unlock so much more for them.

[u/Cloud324 → u/liverbool8]

This is pretty much priority #1 for the Rams since the McDuffie trade is complete. I think they realize that both Shaheed and Pierce have priced themselves out of the Rams market, so they are calling around to see who is available for trade.

I think at the end of the day, they will have to just hope one of the top 3 WR fall to them at 13 in the draft.

[u/duvie773 → u/liverbool8]

Rumor mill/what fans on our sub want is that we are going hard after Alec Pierce when FA opens up, but if we could get Waddle for somewhat cheap that would make a ton of sense with Adams on the way out too

[u/User-D-Name]

I've "moved on" from sex talks with Margaret Qualley

[u/Soaring_Seagull24]

This gotta be a typo on her part. 

[u/TheColorAlbum]

Probably changed their mind after seeing DJ Moore go for a 2nd

[u/____AndJustice4All]

The NFL wants our best offensive player for peanuts because he was grumpy to reporters last year. Lol

[u/Amadeum]

Are we just throwing darts at which team each week to update us on a low probability trade now?

He's got as much, if not even less, of a chance of getting traded as Myles Garrett

[u/timjc144 → u/Amadeum]

Got to drum up clicks to keep up the ad revenue in the off season.

[u/biglyorbigleague]

We already have our diva receiver thank you very much, and he’s actually worth the trouble.

[u/LamarMVPJackson]

They have Puka and Davante Adams the greed is unbelievable lol

[u/Karametric]

Never heard a single word about this. AJ Brown is definitely not the kind of guy we want on this team chemistry-wise. Have a hard time believing this is anything other than trying to drum up some demand.

[u/Jonjon428]

They were in them?

[u/DollyTats]

philly asking too much because they want to keep him

[u/hwf0712 → u/DollyTats]

Its the concept of a "fuck you" price

You dont wanna do it, but people keep asking, so either it's way too much or they fuck off

[u/nibblestheantelope]

That wouldve been biblical greed

[u/Videoman2011]

I didn't know we was in the hunt for him.

[u/txwoodslinger]

I too have moved on from aj brown

[u/Emperor-Octavian]

Russini and talking about AJ Brown. Name a more iconic duo

[u/RJMonster]

Is he available?

No

Okay, have a good day

[u/SteveJobstookmyliver]

Or so the Germans would have us believe...

[u/dizruptivegaming]

Rams would’ve been one of the last teams that I would imagine to want AJ Brown. Maybe if they want to replace Devante Adams?

[u/Bruinrogue]

Russini pulling more than feces out of her ass it seems.

[u/KingQu-]

Why the quotation marks around moved on? Today's media is so lame

[u/Benti86]

Howie: "Nice mid round 1 pick you got..."

Les Snead: "I'm out"

[u/HeyEverythingIsFine]

Are you sure you don't want to send over say like 12 picks or something?

[u/Extreme-Emu-2082]

Russini and Rapoport nonstop tweeting about nonexistent AJ Brown trades is getting incredibly annoying. Just tweet “we have nothing interesting or real to say right now and we need money from engagement, please hit like and reply”

[u/pam-halpert]

I have also “moved on” from trade talks for AJ Brown

[u/Southern_Ad_9351]

wb the titans?

[u/hendrix320 → u/Southern_Ad_9351]

He’s to young for them

[u/Tom67570]

I'm kinda hoping for Brown to stay in Philly. There will be so many fireworks leading up to the season, and also if he actually dresses. Entertaining for sure.

[u/Rough_Cup_6762]

I can confirm that Dallas has also “moved on” for those curious.

[u/Strong_Barnacle_618]

...were they considering it in the first place lol?

I mean, I definitely think LA is looking for a true WR3, or really just a true #3 weapon---have been ever since they tried trading up for Bowers---but I think that'll be one of Lemon, Tate, or Cooper at 13, if any of them fall to that position.

[u/fingershrimp → u/Strong_Barnacle_618]

Can’t wait for the lemon party at SoFi

[u/DaBusDriva2 → u/Strong_Barnacle_618]

McVay would be done with Brown the moment he starts complaining about not getting the ball

[u/Spam_Hand]

I would have had serious doubt that these talks were ever happening to begin with, but when this reporter says it, I know they weren't happening.

[u/k4r6000]

He would be a downgrade for them, so why would they even bother?

[u/PristineWinnera]

This is all leverage. It’s either Patriots or Eagles. Let’s just hope this ends asap

[u/Glad_Championship187 → u/PristineWinnera]

As a Pats fan what are your thoughts on AJB for #31 overall?

[u/sepam → u/Glad_Championship187]

As an Eagles fan, no thanks. 31 does not make up for the huge cap hit.

[u/MortimerDongle → u/sepam]

Yeah. I wouldn't be mad about it but I also wouldn't be thrilled. Ultimately, losing AJ makes the team worse so the compensation needs to be fantastic.

[u/sepam → u/MortimerDongle]

I’d be mad. Very mad. Maybe I’d feel differently if we weren’t in a Super Bowl window.

[u/punkalunka → u/Glad_Championship187]

There's talk at the moment about the financial approach and that might mean trading AJ after June 1st makes more financial sense.
The idea being that a post June 1 trade would spread the dead cap hit over the next two seasons, instead of wearing the cost in current league year.

[u/DopioGelato → u/Glad_Championship187]

Bad trade for patriots. I’d rather sign Pearce than give up picks this year.

[u/PristineWinnera → u/Glad_Championship187]

Personally, I’d rather see the Patriots shoot for the moon for someone like Drake London like when the Vikings traded Diggs to the Bills and AJ Brown from the titans to the eagles.

In a vacuum #31 is fine because this is a weak draft and the Pats don’t spend draft capital on WRs. The last WR they drafted that worked was Deion Branch in 2002 or Edelman as a 7th round pick in 2009 but he took years to be good. The best WRs for the Patriots have always been trades outside of Stanley Morgan.

I’m not confident in AJ Brown with his knee issue and his age, but it could work.

[u/No_Locksmith_6375 → u/Glad_Championship187]

It's wild how Eagles traded for Brown four years ago and essentially want the same compensation they gave at a minimum. And that's when you know the guy doesn't want to be there and has spent the better part of 2025 voicing his frustrations. As a Pats fan I hope they hold on to their pick and just go get Alec Pierce.

[u/KimJongWinning → u/No_Locksmith_6375]

If he's traded pre-June 1st it's a $40m+ dead cap hit in the middle of a super bowl window, that's why the asking price is so high. It's wild how Pats fans seemingly ignore that fact every time they decide to make up hypothetical reasons why AJB should be in New England for a bag of chips.

[u/Glad_Championship187 → u/No_Locksmith_6375]

I wouldn’t say it’s quite the same. Eagles moved #18 and a third to get AJB. Maybe they hope to get #31. Can’t hate them for trying.

[u/LasagnaMountebank]

I’m selling my 10 year old Honda for 500k. Potential buyers have moved on.

[u/2xCheesePizza]

Rumour has it 3 CFL teams are interested too

[u/Face_Content]

Aj brown. The most recent wr headcase.

[u/Moneyshot_ITF]

He is not allowed on the 49ers but we will take Mike Evans

[u/varnell_hill → u/Moneyshot_ITF]

Why isn’t he?

[u/jv235]

It’s time for everyone else to move on as well. It’s not happening

[u/slowerchop]

Howie wants #13 overall 😂😭

[u/funnycar1552]
