The Buffalo Bills showed last season that, while a talented team, their offense could probably use another playmaker.
How about AJ Brown?
Trade rumors have long circled the Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver.
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.
NFL.com made the case for a trade between the Bills and Eagles involving Brown:
If you’re tired of hearing about the annual drama involving Brown and the Eagles, just imagine how Philadelphia might feel. Is trading Brown a smart move? Absolutely not. GM Howie Roseman said it best after the trade deadline passed in November: “You don’t get rid of guys like that.”
But this relationship sure feels like it’s headed toward a divorce, even after the Eagles fired offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo. If so, the Eagles won’t have a hard time finding interested trade partners. They might be able to extract the most value from a team like the Bills, who have desperately needed a top receiver ever since they sent Stefon Diggs to Houston.
Brown would give Josh Allen the star target he’s lacked in recent years and might welcome a fresh start with another title contender. It should cost the Bills a significant amount, but if ever there were a time for Buffalo to push all of its chips to the center of the table, it’s now.
