Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman stuck to the script when asked about the ongoing trade rumors surrounding star receiver A.J. Brown.

'I understand that there's interest in the A.J. Brown story. I, unfortunately, don't have a home under a rock,' he told reporters Sunday at the league meetings in Phoenix.

'But my answer to any question on A.J. Brown is A.J. Brown is a member of the Eagles. From my perspective, anything you ask me about A.J. Brown, I'm going to go right back to that answer. But I understand the interest. I put on TV and I see that there's interest, but my answer is A.J. Brown is a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.'

Roseman gave a similarly guarded statement in January when asked about Philadelphia's plans for Brown, whose frustrations with the offense have been well documented over the past couple of seasons.

'It is hard to find great players in the NFL, and A.J. is a great player,' Roseman said two months ago. 'I think from my perspective, that's what we're going out and looking for when we go out here in free agency, in the draft, just trying to find great players who love football, and he's that guy.'

The Eagles are in no rush to deal Brown, who has been linked to the New England Patriots this offseason. Their dead cap hit for trading him before June 1 is more than $40 million, compared to about $20 million after that date.

Brown, 28, averaged 72.5 catches and 1,041 receiving yards in the past two seasons, compared to 97.0 and 1,476 in his first two seasons with Philadelphia from 2022-23.
