Philadelphia

Eagles

ESPN’s Adam Schefter breaks the news, adding that Wicks will now sign a one-year, $12.5 million extension with the Eagles. Over the last four weeks, they also signed WR Hollywood Brown and WR Elijah Moore as well. Schefter reminds us that if the Eagles were to trade away WR A.J. Brown, that would probably happen after June 1st, “when the cap burden would be more manageable for the Eagles.” As things currently stand, Wicks will likely compete for WR3 duties. The trade also leaves Packers WR Christian Watson, WR Jayden Reed and WR Matthew Golden as the team’s top-three options. They allowed WR Romeo Doubs to sign with the Patriots last month.

Stribling, a five-year college player, ran a 4.36-second 40 at the NFL Scouting Combine. He caught a career-high 55 passes while producing 811 yards and six touchdowns in his final college season. He spent two seasons apiece at Washington State and Oklahoma State before heading to Ole Miss. His speed and size (6'2/207) will intrigue some front offices.

As we feel we have blurbed every week since March started, the salary-cap implications become more tenable for the Eagles to trade Brown after June 1. Sando quotes one executive as saying “It seems just a matter of waiting until June 1 passes for Philly to trade A.J. Brown, who in my opinion is a declining player each of the last three seasons.” Pats coach Mike Vrabel didn’t dismiss any talks for Brown, nor did Eagles GM Howie Roseman say anything but that Brown is “a member of the Eagles” at the NFL Owner’s Meetings this past week.

Per McFadden, Green met with Raiders representatives after his impressive Pro Day showing last week. Green performed very well in the speed, agility and jumping drills. He also tied the Duke Pro Day bench press record with 36 reps. The Raiders representatives expressed their “love for his athleticism” during the meeting. He has also reportedly met with the Eagles, Bears, Steelers and Packers. Green spent 2022-2024 playing at Dartmouth before joining the Blue Devils last year. In 2025, he totaled 30 combined tackles, 11 solo tackles, four TFLs, 22 quarterback pressures and four sacks.

Sanchez was a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award last year, which is given to college football’s top kicker. He recently had an hour-long phone call with the Eagles and also met with them privately after Houston’s Pro Day. Sanchez is scheduled to attend the Falcons’ local day as well. He spent his first three college seasons kicking for Old Dominion and spent his fourth and final college season at Houston. He converted 20-of-25 field goals during the regular season and 38-of-38 extra point attempts. He could be K1-viable as a rookie via any one of these four potential landing spots.

Fowler and Eagles beat writer Tim McManus quoted several team sources who were highly critical of Hurts following a disappointing 2025 season in which Hurts ranked 16th out of 40 qualifying QBs in EPA per drop back and 26th in drop back success rate, just ahead of Bryce Young and behind Jacoby Brissett. “Poor body language, not always bought in, not the most coachable and the players notice,” one source told ESPN, describing Hurts as resistant to suggestions and tweaks to the Philadelphia offense. “Though there is plenty of blame to spread, Hurts has had a hand in the offense becoming calcified,” the sources told Fowler and McManus. “He has pushed back on changes that would diversify the scheme, sources said, including when it comes to him going under center more. He has shown a reluctance to let it rip at times, particularly against zone coverage. He diverts from the game plan and changes play calls to what some feel is an excessive degree.” New Eagles OC Sean Mannion is expected to head a “dramatic overhaul” of the stale Philly offense that would presumably mean Hurts will have to be open to fundamental changes. We’ll see if that leads to tension and conflict for an Eagles team that was among the NFL’s most toxic in 2025.

Under head coach Nick Sirianni and new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, a former NFL quarterback, Lurie said the Eagles would make the tweaks necessary to bounce back after a down 2025 campaign. “This year, it was really apparent to everybody, but especially I would say to our head coach that we were able and going to make some significant offensive changes that would get us back to being a championship-level offense,” Lurie said. “We have our own proprietary metrics and ways of measuring offensive and defensive performance, and our offense was not what we were either accustomed to or expected of.” The usually-efficient Philadelphia offense last season ranked 17th in EPA per play, behind teams like the Commanders and Giants. Jalen Hurts’ passing efficiency fell off big time, as the Eagles were 15th in adjusted yards per pass attempt, in line with the Falcons and Texans.

Far from a dismissal. The Patriots have been the obvious landing spot for Brown for some time. A trade may need to wait until after June 1 for Philadelphia’s cap purposes. Nothing the Eagles have done to this point has firmly planted the idea that they’re going to keep Brown, so it feels like this will eventually happen even if nobody is out-and-out saying it will happen. The cost is the major impediment, as Eagles GM Howie Roseman will (rightfully) ask for the moon for his superstar wideout.

The former undrafted free agent appeared in three games for the Ravens in 2025, registering five tackles. He offers end-of-roster depth for one of the league’s top defenses.

Roseman says this will be “my answer to any question on A.J. Brown” during league meetings in Arizona this week. It’s a slight diversion from Roseman’s comments in January, when he said it was “hard to find great players in the NFL” like Brown, but we’re roughly three months into this trade saga, and with no end in sight, it makes sense that Roseman would prefer to avoid the much-discussed topic. Rumors of a trade between the Patriots and Eagles for Browns services have been the most notable, but the Eagles’ steep asking price for Brown, which reportedly involves a first-round pick, has been a deterrent for interested teams thus far. Brown caught 78 passes for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns last season and has eclipsed 1,000 yards in all four of his seasons with the Eagles. The soon-to-be 29-year-old receiver, however, has become disgruntled with his role in the offense and would prefer to play with a team that will better utilize his skill set. We’ll see if we get any more out of Roseman at league meetings, but the early comments suggest he’s dug in on avoiding the topic.
