Brown to the New England Patriots in June is likely, he followed it up by indicating that that’s not the only trade the Philadelphia Eagles are cooking up.
It sounds like the Birds might be looking to acquire a veteran player during the 2026 NFL Draft: The Eagles could be making more trades beyond any Brown-related move. League sources say that general manager Howie Roseman is plotting to make a deal on draft weekend. Roseman usually has a trick or two up his sleeve, and other front office executives suspect there’s one coming this week.
One possibility is adding Vikings linebacker Jonathan Greenard, whom the Eagles have checked in on at various points this offseason, per sources. Greenard had 12 sacks in 2024, but he managed only three last season over 12 games, despite a solid 23. 3% pass rush win rate.
