Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown won't be traded to the Patriots during draft weekend, per ESPN.

A. J. Brown isn’t getting traded on draft weekend.

But the star wide receiver is still expected to be dealt by the Philadelphia Eagles in the coming weeks. Brown being traded to the New England Patriots remains the “likely outcome,” according to a Monday morning report from ESPN insider Adam Schefter . “An A.

J. Brown trade to the Patriots is still on the table and still tracking to happen on or after June 1, per league sources,” Schefter wrote. “The two sides have discussed a deal, but neither has been willing to commit to it until after June 1, when Brown’s $40 million salary cap charge would be split between this and next year.

“All the elements remain in place to make it happen, and Brown to the Patriots is still the likely outcome ... just not during this week’s draft, per sources. Put the trade on hold just for now, but things will soon quickly warm back up.
