What happened: A.J. Brown trade rumors continue to follow the Philadelphia Eagles into their offseason program, and both Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley fielded questions about the speculation at OTAs. Per Yahoo NFL, the two veterans addressed the chatter surrounding the star wide receiver as the team works toward the 2026 season.

Why it matters: Brown is one of Hurts' primary targets, so any uncertainty about his status shapes how Philadelphia projects on offense heading into 2026. Saquon Barkley and Hurts publicly backing the receiver is a signal the locker room is trying to tamp down the noise rather than fuel it.

What to watch: Watch for any direct comments from Brown himself and whether the Eagles' front office addresses the rumors as the offseason program continues toward the 2026 campaign.
