The Eagles are finally sending WR A.J. Brown to the Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder, according to multiple reports. The deal is pending a Brown physical, of course, but has been expected for months now. ESPN reports that waiting until June 1 allowed the Eagles to split Brown’s $40 million cap hit between this year and next. (NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo calls it $43 million, with $27 million of that on the team’s 2027 cap.)

According to Mike Reiss of ESPN, Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte is currently not attending voluntary workouts with the Patriots, instead working out away from the facility. This could be an indication that trade rumors from SI’s Albert Breer about Boutte being available for a fifth- or sixth-round draft pick could be accurate. WR A.J. Brown is still expected to be traded from the Eagles to the Patriots after June 1st according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, which could push Boutte out with WRs Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism III completing the current WR room.

The Philadelphia Eagles selected USC WR Makai Lemon with the 20th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Lemon looks like one of the safest prospects in the draft. The film, production, and metrics all suggest he’s an NFL-ready receiver with early-impact potential. The 2025 season erased any remaining doubt. Lemon earned unanimous first-team All-America honors and claimed the Biletnikoff Award as the top FBS receiver after leading all Power Four WRs with 1,156 regular-season yards. He tallied a massive 3.13 yards per route run, tying him for fourth among 105 WRs with at least 80 targets.

The Eagles continue to discuss an A.J. Brown trade, and the Patriots remain highly interested in acquiring him. Brown has been at the center of trade rumors for most of the offseason, but his contract made a pre-June 1st move unlikely. Now, with both sides interested in a deal, Brown appears likely to head to New England as Drake Maye's long-term No. 1 WR.

The Packers are trading WR Dontayvion Wicks to the Eagles in exchange for 2026 fifth- and 2027 sixth-round picks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Philadelphia is also giving Wicks a one-year, $12.5 million extension that keeps him signed through the 2027 season. Wicks has teased fantasy owners with a handful of strong outings over the last four seasons and registered strong marks in advanced metrics like targets per route and yards per route. But he never carved out a consistent role in Green Bay. There's opportunity for him to do so in Philadelphia ... if WR A.J. Brown is traded.

TE Dallas Goedert has agreed to a one-year extension with the Eagles. That keeps him around through 2026 rather than allowing the veteran to hit the open market. The two sides seemed to be working toward this end, with both agreeing twice to delay a contract clause that would have forced an earlier decision to avoid a $20 million cap hit for the coming season.

The Eagles have selected Sean Mannion as their new offensive coordinator, according to multiple reports. The former NFL QB has spent just two years as a coach, both on Green Bay's staff. He operated as the QBs coach last season after opening as an offensive assistant.

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni announced Tuesday that he'll be replacing OC Kevin Patullo. The deposed coordinator filled that role for the first time in his career (at any level) this season. He had worked under Sirianni since the two joined Frank Reich's staff with the Colts in 2018. That includes spending the past five years with Sirianni in Philadelphia, four as pass-game coordinator before taking over for Kellen Moore in 2025.

NBC Sports Philadelphia reports that the Eagles confirmed Wednesday they'll "rest several key starters" in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Commanders. It's not yet clear, though, exactly who that plan affects and how.

NFL Nerwork's Mike Garafolo says he expects Philadelphia to rest some starters for its Week 18 home date with the Commanders. The Eagles currently sit third in the NFC playoff standings but could climb to second if they win and the Bears lose to Detroit at home. Both games are set to kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw just 15 passes in Sunday's beatdown of the Raiders. But he proved much more efficient than in recent weeks. Hurts completed 12 of those throws (80%) for 175 yards (11.7 yards per attempt) and 3 TDs. He added 39 rushing yards on seven carries.
