The Baltimore Ravens have attempted to bring in some fairly high-profile receivers to catch passes from two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. Still, a strong case can be made that Odell Beckham Jr. and De'Andre Hopkins were past their prime by the time they arrived in Baltimore.
Now, the Ravens may be closing in on a trade for the three-time Pro Bowl receiver who has been a major part of their team's overall success, including a Super Bowl win in 2024.
According to Jeff McClain philadelphia enquirerThe Ravens have emerged as a "potential" trade suitor for AJ Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles. But the Ravens are not alone. McClain suggests the New England Patriots, who are led by Mike Vrabel, the Browns' former head coach at Tennessee, are another "potential" suitor.
"The Bills trading for WR DJ Moore would theoretically take them out of the AJ Brown market. As I understand, they checked with the Eagles about their wide receiver. The Patriots and Ravens are the most likely potential partners, especially since as I understand it, the Eagles are only willing to deal with AFC teams."

Brown has recorded 1,000-yard seasons in six of seven seasons since being drafted in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft as the 51st overall pick. After three seasons he was traded from Tennessee to Philadelphia when the Titans would not commit to the type of long-term contract Brown wanted.
When Brown was 24, he was traded for first- and third-round selections. Now 28 years old, still established, we'll see what the business costs this time. Even if he has been dealt with, teams are certainly trying.
