AJ Brown reportedly asked to be traded multiple times during the regular season with the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, and he might just get his wish this coming offseason.
While the Eagles have done their best to make the relationship work between them, starting quarterback Jalen Hurts, and the star wide receiver, the game against the San Francisco 49ers in the playoffs might be the final time we see Brown in a winged helmet.
On Tuesday, ESPN published an article by Jeremy Fowler featuring executives across the league making their best guesses about possible trades in the near offseason.

One of the most significant pieces on the board with a chance to be moved is Brown, with various teams linked to a move for him.
But one team stands out amongst the rest as the prohibitive favorite to get him if they believe he's the right fit.

More news: Jalen Hurts Breaks Silence on Wanting AJ Brown Back With Eagles Next Season
The Buffalo Bills ended another season in heartbreak, and Josh Allen is wondering what he needs to do to reach the Super Bowl. He will have to watch as either Jarrett Stidham or Drake Maye makes it to the championship game before he does.
And although Allen had one of his weaker games this past Saturday against the Denver Broncos, his receiving core was downright below the standard you'd expect of a contending team. Along with injuries, the only reliable receiver he had was Khalil Shakir.
"The Bills have to upgrade there -- their best receiver is Khalil Shakir, who is a nice player but he's not a top guy," an NFL personnel evaluator told Fowler for his piece. "Brown is an immediate upgrade, and he's still young. And the Eagles can build the passing game around DeVonta Smith and a high draft pick."
Brown would instantly give the Bills and Allen a potent one-two punch, with Shakir getting to act in a more favorable WR2 role instead of being the primary target. For Brown, he would go from a situation where he had to share reps as the leading man, but would be the undisputed go-to receiver for one of the best QBs in the league.
For the Bills, who are still searching for a new head coach after the firing of Sean McDermott, the trade-off between the melodrama that would ensue and production might be worth it if it appeases their franchise face, who wants nothing more than to win a Super Bowl.
