Eagles reportedly eyeing two potential A.J. Brown replacements

The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the best wide receivers in the game, but he may not want to be there for much longer.

A.J. Brown has been vocal about his frustrations with the team, even during their Super Bowl-winning season, and the situation might become unsustainable.

GM Howie Roseman has been adamant about entertaining the idea of a trade. Then again, he may not have much of a choice.

Considering that, ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler reported that the Eagles have been tied to the likes of Chris Olave and Courtland Sutton as potential replacements.

The Eagles need to explore A.J. Brown's trade market 

"During the Eagles' offensive coordinator search, some candidates got the impression that Brown was part of the plan," Fowler wrote. "That's why some around the league believe Roseman could target a veteran receiver as part of any trade package -- say, if New Orleans can't reach a deal with Chris Olave in New Orleans, or if Denver wants to entertain a Brown-Courtland Sutton swap."

Brown got off to a slow start to the season, but he still topped the 1,000-yard mark.

Even so, he's never shied away from controversy, and he's let everybody know that he's not happy with his involvement -- or lack thereof -- in the passing game.

The Eagles hired Sean Mannion to be their next offensive coordinator, and as a former quarterback himself, the offense might be much more willing to throw the ball than under Kevin Patullo's tutelage. 

Whether that plan includes Brown, or another veteran wide receiver, remains to be seen.
