Rams Called Eagles About A.J. Brown, Engaged In Davante Adams Trade Talks
Puka Nacua and Davante Adams are set to remain the Rams’ top two receivers in 2026. Based on the team’s conversations on the trade front, though, that was not always guaranteed to be the case. 
During an appearance on PFT Live at the annual league meeting, general manager Les Snead confirmed the team engaged in trade calls with the Eagles about A.J. Brown. Los Angeles has long been a known Brown suitor, with the same also being true of the Patriots. As Snead noted, the Rams were never close to acquiring the three-time Pro Bowler.
“We chatted with Philly, nothing worked out,” Snead said (via Pro Football Talk’s Michael David Smith). “There were talks, we had discussions, didn’t work out. That happens.”
[RELATED: Nacua Extension Not Imminent]
In the event discussions with Philadelphia had resulted in a Brown trade, a corresponding move would have involved Adams. It was reported earlier this month Los Angeles contemplated trading Adams, something head coach Sean McVay confirmed on Monday. McVay also noted (via Dianna Russini of The Athletic) the team remained in contact with Adams while trade discussions were taking place.
“We really talked about some different avenues of onboarding other players and how it might affect Davante,” McVay said (via ESPN’s Sarah Barshop). “If we felt like it was best for our team, we would have done that. But we didn’t think it was best for our team.
“There’s a lot of stuff that’s out there that’s not accurate, but when there is at least some accuracy or some thought to it, you want to deal with that direct, honest and open. And there’s been instances where I wasn’t as good about that in previous years, and so I don’t want to make those same mistakes.”
Adams joined the Rams on a two-year deal last offseason, a move which was beneficial for all involved. Taking on a large role in the team’s post-Cooper Kupp offense, Adams led the NFL with 14 touchdown catches. He received a $6MM roster bonus roughly two weeks ago as part of his $24MM in compensation for the 2026 campaign. Trading away the 33-year-old would have yielded considerable cap savings (thus making a Brown acquisition much more feasible from a financial perspective), but instead Adams will prepare for a second Rams campaign.
Brown is still in place with the Eagles, although speculation about a trade in his case continues. A move ending his Philadelphia tenure could take place after June 1 given the financial benefits of waiting beyond that date in the team’s case. Based on Snead’s comments, the Rams should not be expected to circle back on the Brown front. Similarly, Adams can be expected to remain in the fold after his future was uncertain.
2027 NFL Fifth-Year Option Tracker
NFL teams have until May 1 to officially pick up fifth-year options on 2023 first-rounders. The 2020 CBA revamped the option structure and made them fully guaranteed, rather than guaranteed for injury only. Meanwhile, fifth-year option salaries are now determined by a blend of performance- and usage-based benchmarks:
- Two-time Pro Bowlers (excluding alternates) will earn the same as their position’s franchise tag
- One-time Pro Bowlers will earn the equivalent of the transition tag
- Players who achieve any of the following will receive the average of the third-20th top salaries at their position:
- At least a 75% snap rate in two of their first three seasons
- A 75% snap average across all three seasons
- At least 50% in each of first three seasons
- Players who do not hit any of those benchmarks will receive the average of the third-25th top salaries at their position
PFR’s Offseason Outlook series examined each of these decisions in-depth, and weeks remain until this year’s deadline. In the meantime, we will use the space below to track all the 2027 option decisions from around the league:

Falcons Expected To Hire Eagles’ Jeff Scott As Assistant GM
The Falcons’ hierarchy has generated interest this offseason, after ownership cleaned house. The team added Matt Ryan and Ian Cunningham to right the ship, with the NFL viewing Ryan’s role as enough to deny the Bears two third-round picks for losing a minority exec (Cunningham) to a GM role.
Chicago promoted from within (Jeff King) to fill Cunningham’s assistant general manager post, while KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson reports the Falcons are expected to make an outside hire to fill their AGM job. Eagles VP of football operations Jeff Scott is expected to be named the next Falcons assistant GM.
Scott worked with Cunningham in Philadelphia. The Eagles lost four execs to assistant GM roles in 2022 — Cunningham (Bears), Brandon Brown (Giants), Catherine Hickman (Browns) and Andy Weidl (Steelers) — but Cunningham and Scott overlapped in Philly from 2021-22. The Eagles hired Scott in 2021, bringing him over from Washington.
Spending nine years in Washington — most of which coming under then-president Bruce Allen — Scott climbed to the assistant director of pro scouting role by 2020. The Commanders had shaken up their organizational hierarchy in 2020, dismissing Allen and hiring Ron Rivera to head up operations from his HC post. Scott joined the Eagles as a senior pro scout and climbed to their director of football ops post in 2022, when the wave of execs left Philly for AGM roles elsewhere.
The Eagles elevated Scott to VP of football ops in 2024. This came at a key juncture for career advancement, as the Eagles assembled a strong roster ahead of their Super Bowl LIX rout of the Chiefs. Scott, who began his NFL run as an intern with Washington 14 years ago, has not taken any GM interviews. Moving to the assistant GM level, however, could greenlight some.
While many AGM positions represent top lieutenant roles, this one — thanks to Ryan’s role as president of football, a position the Falcons created for their former MVP quarterback — will bring third-in-command status. Still, Scott will be expected to become an integral part of Atlanta’s overhaul. For the Eagles, this will mark yet another Howie Roseman lieutenant to move to a high-ranking front office role elsewhere. Cunningham has climbed to the GM tier, while the other three execs to leave in 2022 have taken interviews. Brown, Hickman and Weidl each remain in their respective AGM roles; Scott now joins them on this tier.
Eagles Sign LB Chandler Martin
Chandler Martin will continue his rehab in Philly. The free agent linebacker is signing a two-year deal with the Eagles, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston.
Martin earned first-team All-AAC honors during his two seasons at Memphis before going undrafted in the 2025 draft. He quickly caught on with the Ravens, and after being among the team’s final preseason cuts, he earned a role on Baltimore’s practice squad.
He spent most of the season on the taxi squad but got his way into three games with the Ravens, compiling five tackles while playing exclusively on special teams. He suffered a torn ACL in Week 13, ending his season prematurely and putting the start of his 2026 season in doubt.
The Eagles won’t have to rush Martin back from his injury considering their two-year commitment to the linebacker. Philadelphia doesn’t have a real immediate need for depth at the position. Zack Baun and Jihaad Campbell are fully entrenched atop the depth chart, while the likes of Jeremiah Trotter, Smael Mondon, and Chance Campbell will compete for backup reps. The Eagles are hoping Martin can join that grouping before the 2026 season is through.
Eagles GM Howie Roseman Addresses A.J. Brown Trade Talk
Trade speculation continues to surround Eagles receiver A.J. Brown. To no surprise, general manager Howie Roseman was asked about the situation on Monday at the league meeting. 
“I understand that there’s interest in the A.J. Brown story,” Roseman said (via ESPN’s Tim McManus). “I, unfortunately, don’t have a home under a rock. 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.”
Roseman has previously offered stronger statements on the subject during the lead-up to free agency. The Eagles’ reported preference was to have a Brown resolution in place by the start of the new league year, but deep into March his status is still unclear. No trade request has been issued by the three-time Pro Bowler, but talk of a move ending his Eagles tenure has been long-running and has not been quieted through the offseason. The Patriots in particular loom as landing spot many have pointed to for Brown.
Given the cap implications of working out a trade prior to June 1, an expectation has emerged that one will only take place after that date. Plenty of things can and will change from a roster-building perspective in the meantime, thanks in large part to next month’s draft. It was nevertheless recently deemed “inevitable” a trade will eventually be worked out in Brown’s case. The 28-year-old has topped 1,000 yards in each of his four Philadelphia campaigns, making him an attractive option for any number of suitors. Taking on the remainder of Brown’s contract (which runs through 2029) late in the offseason will be a challenge in most cases, though.
None of the teams on Brown’s wish list have been heavily linked to an acquisition so far. That could change, of course, but a key factor with respect to any suitor will be the trade price set by Roseman. A first-round pick and more has been seen as a requirement for the Eagles to consider moving on in this case; no offers at that level are known to have been submitted.
Philadelphia has added Marquise Brown and Elijah Moore to the WR depth chart in free agency. Moore and A.J. Brown were teammates for one year at Ole Miss, although Roseman said factors such as familiarity were not taken into consideration when the team made its offseason moves. How the team’s setup at the position shakes out will remain a storyline to monitor as the spring unfolds.
Eagles Agree To Sign OLB Joe Tryon-Shoyinka
After failing to retain top free agent pass rusher Jaelan Phillips, the Eagles continue to address his position. According to Zach Berman of The Athletic, Philadelphia is adding Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to its defense. He will be joining the Eagles on a one-year deal, per Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com. 
A first-round pick out of Washington in 2021, Tryon-Shoyinka was the Buccaneers’ top pick the year after winning the Super Bowl. Working behind starters Shaquil Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul, Tryon-Shoyinka produced decent contributions as a rookie, logging four sacks, five tackles for loss, 10 quarterback hits, and three batted passes. As Pierre-Paul moved on, Tryon-Shoyinka earned a starting role in Year 2 but failed to produce much more despite the increase in opportunities.
In Tryon-Shoyinka’s third year in Tampa, he started the 2023 season as a starter, once again, but by the end of the season, third-round rookie YaYa Diaby had taken over a starting role across from from Barrett. Tryon-Shoyinka had started with four, four, and five sacks in his first three seasons, respectively, and Diaby topped his single-season best in his rookie year alone. In the final year of his rookie contract, Tryon-Shoyinka began the year again as a starter, this time across from Diaby. After logging only two sacks in 11 games, the Buccaneers began putting veteran Anthony Nelson in a starting role in his place.
Tampa Bay allowed Tryon-Shoyinka to walk in free agency after his rookie contract expired. He signed a one-year, $4.75MM with the Browns but saw more time on special teams than on defense in Cleveland. Halfway through the season, the Bears opted to send a sixth-round pick to the Browns in exchange for Tryon-Shoyinka and a seventh-rounder, and though he saw bit more time on defense in Chicago, he wasn’t able to contribute much on to the stat sheet.
In Philadelphia, Tryon-Shoyinka joins a position group that returns only Nolan Smith and Jalyx Hunt, and he’ll actually reunite with Jose Ramirez who played with him on the Buccaneers in 2024. Further upgrades to the pass rush are likely still needed, but based on the level of free agent the team has been able to sign at the position (Tryon-Shoyinka and former Falcons second-round pick Arnold Ebiketie), the draft may need to be the source of the team’s answers at the position.
Latest On Panthers’ Kenny Pickett Acquisition, Andy Dalton Trade
Earlier this month, the Panthers signed quarterback and former first-round pick Kenny Pickett. That transaction seemed to point Andy Dalton out of Charlotte, and indeed, the club dealt the veteran passer to the Eagles shortly after the Pickett signing.
According to Panthers vice president of football operations Brandt Tilis (via ESPN’s David Newton), the motivation behind the QB room shakeup was simple: the team wanted Pickett to work as starter Bryce Young’s backup in 2026, and Dalton – who had served as Young’s backup over the past three seasons – still wants to compete for a QB2 opportunity. Philadelphia offers such an opportunity, and a trade was consummated.
The guaranteed money in Pickett’s Carolina contract ($4MM) is actually identical to what Dalton is due to earn in the last year of his current deal ($3.9MM base salary plus $100K workout bonus). Clearly, the Pickett-for-Dalton switch was not motivated by finances and was driven instead by other factors.
Getting younger is one such factor, but there could also be a belief in Pickett’s upside at play here. Although the Panthers finished the 2025 regular season with an 8-9 record, that was good enough to win the NFC South, and Carolina nearly toppled the Rams in the wildcard round of the playoffs. As such, if there were not a certain amount of faith in Pickett, it would have made sense for a team that has designs on another postseason run to keep the more established Dalton rather than replace him with a player who has not yet found much success at the professional level.
On the other hand, Dalton has posted a 1-6 record as a starter during his Carolina tenure, along with an 84.5 quarterback rating. Those underwhelming figures could have led Panthers brass to believe Pickett at least will be no worse than Dalton if he is pressed into action, and since Pickett – the No. 20 overall pick of the 2022 draft – is nearly 11 years younger than his 38-year-old predecessor, there still may be another level for him to unlock.
At present, there are no other signal-callers on the Panthers’ depth chart, while the Eagles are still rostering Tanner McKee. A sixth-round pick in 2023, McKee has started just two games in his NFL career, though he has shown enough promise to pop up in trade rumors concerning QB-needy clubs. For now, he and Dalton are poised to battle for the backup job behind Jalen Hurts, but ever-opportunistic GM Howie Roseman has a highly-experienced insurance policy in Dalton should he receive an acceptable offer for McKee.
Eagles C Cam Jurgens Addresses Recovery From Back Surgery
Cam Jurgens played a key role in the Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX victory, but he did so while playing through a major back injury. Surgery soon followed, but the ailment still proved to be a nagging issue for Philadelphia’s starting center in 2025. 
During an appearance on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast, Jurgens detailed the nature of his injury and the progress of his recovery process. He noted a disc in his back “broke off,” leading it to “wrap around” his sciatic nerve. Surgery was delayed until after the Super Bowl, making Philadelphia’s playoff run a painful process for Jurgens.
“It takes a good year to come back from that,” the 26-year-old said when reflecting on the 2025 season, one in which he played 15 total games but was never operating at full health. “I’m starting to feel really good.”
That will of course be a welcomed development for the Eagles. Jurgens inked a four-year, $68MM extension last April, and he will be counted on as an anchor up front for years to come. Philadelphia will be without offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland in 2026 after his lengthy stint with the team, and changes up front are anticipated in the near future. Right tackle Lane Johnson and left guard Landon Dickerson each contemplated retirement this offseason, but they will both suit up for at least one more year.
Jurgens admitted he thought about his own career from a health perspective “a little bit” while rehabbing his back. The two-time Pro Bowler added, however, that he is not considering retirement at this time. A long run after being fully healed from this back ailment would obviously help in that regard.
“I love football, and I want to play as long as I can and hopefully just keep playing in Philly,” Jurgens added. “There aren’t too many better places to play football than with the Eagles… Right now, I’m playing, and I’m going to play as long as I can.”
WR Rumors: Tyson, Eagles, Waddle, Moore, Giants, Bears, Cowboys, Cards, Colts
One of the wide receivers expected to go off the draft board in Round 1, Jordyn Tyson did not work out at the Combine and will not participate at Arizona State’s pro day Friday. Tyson missed time with a hamstring injury last season, and it has apparently affected his pre-draft timeline. Tyson, however, will work out for teams April 17, ESPN.com’s Field Yates tweets. That said, the former Colorado recruit will only do positional drills that day. As our Ely Allen pointed out in December, Tyson is a high-ceiling prospect but one that carries injury baggage. Knee and collarbone injuries affected Tyson in separate years with the Sun Devils, and this hamstring issue — when coupled with past maladies — could certainly affect his draft stock. But his 1,101-yard 2024 slate should provide a solid first-round floor. NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah ranks Tyson 21st overall in this class.
Here is the latest from the receiver ranks:
- Regardless of their A.J. Brown decision, the Eagles will target a receiver in the draft, The Athletic’s Zach Berman notes. Howie Roseman hit with DeVonta Smith in 2021 but famously missed with Jalen Reagor (Round 1, 2020) and JJ Arcega-Whiteside (Round 2, 2019). A receiver move should be expected early, Berman adds, though he notes optimism exists among decisionmakers Smith can make another jump with a boost in targets. A Brown trade — heavily rumored to be in the works after June 1 — would create a critical need for Philly, but a rookie stepping in alongside Smith and Marquise Brown would stand to bolster the slender WR’s role within the offense.
- Marquise Brown joined the Eagles on a one-year deal worth $5MM in base value, KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson notes. The former Ravens, Cardinals and Chiefs wideout can max out at $6.5MM on the contract. Brown’s $5MM is fully guaranteed, which marks only a slight discount from his 2025 Kansas City terms (one year, $7MM).
- The Broncos have already used Jaylen Waddle‘s contract to create cap space, with Wilson indicating the team converted $15.42MM of the trade pickup’s option bonus to a signing bonus. Waddle is still due $17.24MM in 2026 compensation, 9News’ Mike Klis adds, but his cap number checks in at $4.88MM. That number will jump to $27.1MM in 2027, however, with $15.2MM of Waddle’s ’27 compensation being guaranteed. Acquiring Waddle’s $28.25MM-per-year contract from the Dolphins last week, Broncos hold $18.75MM in 2026 cap space, per OverTheCap.
- The Bills also restructured their WR trade acquisition’s contract, converting $22.19MM in base salary into a signing bonus. This created $17.75MM in cap space, according to OverTheCap. D.J. Moore‘s 2026 cap hit sits at just $6.75MM, though like Waddle, he is due a hefty 2027 guarantee ($15.5MM). Buffalo holds $12.29MM in cap space.
- Already reworking Terence Steele and Malik Hooker‘s contracts, the Cowboys adjusted Jonathan Mingo‘s as well. Mingo accepted a pay cut, per Wilson, who notes the former second-round pick is now on a $1.15MM deal that includes no guaranteed money. After underwhelming on his rookie deal and missing 2025 time due to injury, Mingo will vie for a roster spot. One year remains on his rookie deal.
- Darnell Mooney was tied to a three-year, $39MM Falcons deal, but ESPN.com’s Jordan Raanan notes his one-year Giants pact is worth just $3MM in base value. That figure does come fully guaranteed, per Wilson, who notes the contract can max out at $10MM. Calvin Austin‘s Giants agreement comes in at just $1.5MM, according to OverTheCap, with $400K guaranteed. The slot receiver’s deal can max out at $3MM, per The Athletic’s Dan Duggan, who notes the ex-Steeler’s playing time incentives start at a 45% snap rate; his catch incentives begin at 35, with his yardage escalators starting at 400. Meeting the minimum thresholds in each category would earn Austin $150K.
- Rounding up some other recent WR terms, the Bears are giving Kalif Raymond a one-year deal worth $3.5MM. The contract includes $3MM fully guaranteed, Wilson tweets, and can max out at $5.1MM. The Cardinals’ Devin Duvernay deal is worth $1.85MM in base value, per Wilson, who adds $550K is guaranteed at signing. The Colts will have Nick Westbrook-Ikhine tied to a one-year, $1.4MM deal, Wilson adds, noting $438K is guaranteed at signing.
