Roseman on Brown Trade: 'A Pick is a Pick'

Philadelphia Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman addressed the media after trading star receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick. Roseman explained the rationale behind accepting a future first-round pick, stating that 'a pick is a pick' regardless of the year and that teams will still be playing football in 2028. chickenroad-game.rodeo

While acknowledging that many teams value a future first-round pick similarly to a current second-round pick, Roseman noted the Eagles would have preferred a 2027 pick over 2028. The trade still represents a significant return for a player who reportedly wanted out of Philadelphia.
