The Eagles’ leverage in any deal centers on Brown’s age and recent performance trajectory. At 29 in June, Brown has seen a decline over the past two seasons, and Philadelphia is understood to be seeking near-first-round value in return—a considerable bar for a star who was acquired from the Titans in 2022 for the 19th overall pick.
Analysts have used two recent trades as reference points for Brown’s value: the high-end benchmark set by trades involving Davante Adams and Quinnen Williams, and the lower end represented by the Stefon Diggs deal. Williams moved for a 2026 second-round pick plus a 2027 first, while Diggs went for a 2024 second-round pick and a 2025 fifth in exchange for a 2024 second.
Brewer-style projections place Brown somewhere between those two outcomes if a deal materializes, with many expecting a package that lands between a first- and a second-round pick. Possibilities discussed include a future first-round pick (potentially 2028) or a conditional 2027 second that could escalate to a first if Brown meets playing-time or performance benchmarks.
In practical terms, the compensation is likely to skew toward a second-round pick plus additional considerations, rather than a clean, near-first-round return. Still, the market could shift quickly depending on how teams evaluate Brown’s value across the league and how negotiations unfold in the coming weeks.
Until something is finalized, this remains speculation. The June 1 window and market dynamics will heavily influence whether Brown is moved and what the exact compensation might look like for the Eagles.
