NFL Trade Rumors
Eagles WR A.J. Brown was once again in the news for his lack of satisfaction with his current role in Philadelphia’s offense. Brown caught two passes and was targeted three times in Monday night’s win over the Packers, twice on the first drive of the game and once on the team’s final offensive play.
