Eagles Continue to Reject Patriots in A.J. Brown Trade with Unreasonable Demands – New England Likely to Reunite with Stefon Diggs Soon, According to Adam Schefter
Foxborough, Massachusetts – Philadelphia Eagles have decided not to trade A.J. Brown after serious negotiations with New England Patriots regarding the potential trade of this player. Eagles set a price too high for Brown, leading the Patriots to consider it an unreasonable demand for a player who no longer wants to contribute to the team.

"The demands from the Eagles made it impossible for us to continue negotiations. The price was far too high compared to A.J. Brown's actual value," a Patriots representative shared. Eagles attempted to create competition between teams, but with such a high asking price, the deal could not reach a positive conclusion.
After being unable to acquire A.J. Brown, Patriots will shift focus to another target – reuniting with Stefon Diggs, according to information from Adam Schefter. With a lack of depth at the wide receiver position, re-signing Diggs becomes a reasonable option for the Patriots.
Stefon Diggs, 32, had an impressive 2025-2026 season with 85 receptions, 1,013 yards, and 4 touchdowns. Although his performance slightly declined in the playoffs due to weak defense, Diggs remained an important figure in the locker room and was considered a leader in pre-game strategy meetings.
Patriots officially terminated Diggs' contract at the beginning of the new NFL season due to financial issues, but the current situation appears to be changing. The renewed interest in Diggs shows that the team now sees him as an essential part of their future roster-building strategy.

While continuing to pursue other trades, Patriots see re-signing Diggs as a wise move. Diggs remains a reliable player who can make a difference in the upcoming season and help the team achieve great goals.
"We will continue working to improve the roster, but if Diggs returns, it will add significant strength to the Patriots' offense," head coach Mike Vrabel shared, emphasizing Stefon Diggs' important role in the team's strategy.
