The New England Patriots have explored trading for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Brown but believe the asking price is too high.
The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired Metcalf and a sixth-round selection for second- and seventh-round picks.
Brown's future with the Eagles has recently lacked clarity. Head coach Nick Sirianni said earlier this week that he couldn't guarantee the talented receiver would be on the team for the 2026 season. However, the following day, general manager Howie Roseman said Brown was a huge part of new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's plans.
