A.J. Brown flirts with his most likely trade destination in offseason workout

Over the past couple of years, Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown has been tangled up in countless trade rumors.

He doesn't seem to be on the same page with quarterback Jalen Hurts, and he's been vocal about his frustration with his role in the offense.

The Eagles have been reluctant to engage in serious trade talks, but Brown seems dedicated to getting traded. That's why his latest activity cannot go overlooked.

As shown by Patriots fan account Los Talks Pats on X, Brown was featured in some pictures of working out with new New England Patriots safety Kevin Byard III.

The Patriots are still in the mix to trade for Brown, even after signing Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs.

Brown has a close relationship with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel from their days with the Tennessee Titans, and their need for another playmaker became painfully evident in their Super Bowl loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Of course, players from rival teams work out together in the offseason every year, but with all the rumblings surrounding Brown and the Patriots, the timing of this post looks far from coincidental.

The Eagles may not be in a rush to move Brown because they would have to trade him with a post-June 1 designation anyway.

That said, it makes more sense to trade him before the NFL Draft to make the most of his value and find a potential replacement late in the first round.
