A.J. Brown Trade Looms as June 1 Deadline Arrives

A.J. Brown's trade status is set to change on June 1, as the Eagles can now spread his dead cap hit over two seasons.

The date allows teams to cut players with a post-June 1 designation, spreading the salary cap hit over two years.

This rule applies to A.J. Brown, as the Eagles would take a $43.4 million dead cap hit if they traded him before June 1.

Starting June 2, the Eagles can trade Brown and spread the dead cap hit of $43.4 million over two seasons, with $16.35 million in 2026 and $27.1 million in 2027.

The Eagles have been waiting for this date to trade Brown, avoiding the significant dead cap hit.

The June 1 deadline also affects other teams, as they gain salary cap space from post-June 1 releases.

The Dolphins will gain $21.1 million, while the Vikings and Packers will gain $12.5 million and $11.5 million, respectively.

A.J. Brown's trade is expected to happen soon, with several teams potentially interested in acquiring the wide receiver.

The NFL season is just 100 days away, and the upcoming trades and roster moves will shape the league's landscape.

On September 9, the Seahawks will host the Patriots in a Super Bowl rematch, marking the start of the new season.

The next few days will be crucial for A.J. Brown's future, as the Eagles decide what to do with the talented wide receiver.
