ESPN's Dan Graziano offers potential Bills-Eagles blockbuster trade for WR AJ Brown

Trade rumors have long circled Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown.

In one sense, the Buffalo Bills have now been connected.

A three-time Pro Bowler and three-time second-team All-Pro player, Brown is a top playmaker in the NFL. At only 28 years old and with a Super Bowl on his resume, if the Eagles were to trade him there would be suitors.

ESPN made the case for the Bills being one.

NFL Insider Dan Graziano believes a deal could be struck between Buffalo and Philadelphia. The cost is the Bills' first-round pick but that's all.

An idea to ponder.

Graziano's analysis on a Brown trade to the Bills can be found below:

Dan Graziano's offer:

Eagles get: 2026 first-round pick (No. 26)

Bills get: Brown

Why this deal makes sense: Whether general manager Brandon Beane thinks so or not, quarterback Josh Allen could really benefit from a true No. 1 wide receiver to stress defenses. And Brown's 2026 contract is not an overpay financially for a top WR.

It's tough to imagine Buffalo getting a surefire, instant-impact playmaker at its current draft slot in the first round. So why not use it to get a veteran one? Is there a more win-now situation than Buffalo's? As for the Eagles, a first-round pick for a 28-year-old wide receiver with only one year of guaranteed money left on his contract doesn't sound like a bad return.
