The Philadelphia Eagles and the A.J. Brown trade talk has begun to heat up over the past week, and in truth, it feels like the NFL's worst-kept secret.

Most know Brown will be dealt, mainly because it will be beneficial for both sides to part ways, and the New England Patriots loom as the logical destination given Brown's previous work with Mike Vrabel.

With Brown expected to be a post-June 1 trade, thus saving the Eagles a lot of cap space, we have to wait until after the draft before a move can happen.

And now, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport has reported that Brown isn't expected to attend the Eagles' offseason workouts as he awaits his future.

So that is the clearest sign yet that a move will be forthcoming soon.

What will Brown trade look like?​

This is what most people are stuck on, as the Eagles have made it clear they want full value in return for Brown.

For most, that is a first-round pick, and given that the trade, if it happens, will take place after the draft, it is a matter of whether the Patriots give up a 2027 first-rounder or a 2028 first-rounder.

I don't see a deal getting done for anything less than a first-round pick, given Howie Roseman's (Eagles GM) desire to get full value.

This deal feels like a when, not if, and it appears we are all just waiting until after June 1 before this deal gets done. In the meantime, Brown isn't likely to be at any Eagles offseason workouts.
