The trade discussions involving A.J. Brown, the Philadelphia Eagles' star wide receiver, have hit a snag due to health concerns regarding his knee. NBC Sports' Tom Curran reported that the Los Angeles Rams have opted out of a deal after assessing Brown's condition. This situation raises concerns for the New England Patriots, who may also reassess their interest based on their medical evaluation of Brown. The Eagles are reportedly asking for a combination of a first-round and second-round pick for Brown, who has a history of knee issues. If the Eagles decide to trade him before June 1, they would face a significant dead salary cap charge of $43.5 million, which is substantially higher than the $16.353 million cap hit if the trade occurs after that date. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman reiterated that Brown remains with the team, despite the ongoing trade rumors.
