There figures to be at least some wide receivers traded by the Nov. 4 NFL trade deadline, but perhaps the top potential target, A.J. Brown of the Philadelphia Eagles, is not expected to be among them, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Eagles, ESPN reported, are “not looking to move” Brown, despite the star receiver being in the midst of a rough season.
But the report added that could change if the Eagles got a “blockbuster offer, which is not expected to be forthcoming.”
While Brown missed Sunday’s game in Philadelphia against the Giants with a hamstring injury, there is a “realistic chance” Brown could be back on Nov. 10 following the Eagles’ upcoming bye week.
Brown had his best game of the year a week ago in a win at Minnesota, when he had four catches for a season-high 121 yards and two touchdowns.

The 28-year-old Brown has topped 1,000 yards receiving in five of his six NFL seasons, split between the Eagles and the Tennessee Titans.
Brown is in his fourth year with the Eagles after being traded by Tennessee prior to the 2022 season, and is on pace for career-lows in catches, yards and yards per reception. He has also criticized Philadelphia’s offense often throughout the year.
He posted a picture of himself on Instagram this past week along with a caption that read, “Using me but not using me.”

Hurts had his top performance of the season in Minnesota as well, although Barkley has continued to struggle after his historic first year in Philadelphia last season.
Barkley has gained more than 60 yards on the ground just once after putting up over 100 yards 11 times in his 16 regular-season games in 2024.
Still, even with their offensive issues, the 5-2 Eagles are in first place in the NFC East.
