In the event that A.J. Brown pushes his way past the Philadelphia Eagles, the Indianapolis Colts might contend.
Pass catchers in the upcoming NFL Draft have been connected to the Indianapolis Colts. Two of the more well-liked selections in mock drafts are Florida State wide receiver Keon Coleman and Georgia tight end Brock Bowers.
To solve their aerial attack, the Colts may choose to turn their focus elsewhere—namely, towards Philadelphia and irate wide receiver A.J. Brown.
Rumour has it that Brown is not thrilled with the Eagles, who have dropped six of their past seven games, including the disastrous loss to Tampa Bay on Monday. The Eagles were allegedly taken off from all of his social media platforms by him.
If Brown makes a move, the Colts are the second-choice team to sign him, according to Bookies.com handicapper Adam Thompson.
Houston Texans +400 (20%)
Indianapolis Colts +450 (18.2%)
Cincinnati Bengals +475 (17.4%)
Kansas City Chiefs +575 (14.2%)
Arizona Cardinals +600 (14.3%)
New England Patriots +850 (10.5%)
Chicago Bears +1200 (7.7%)
The Field +500 (16.7%)
Before Brown is even considered accessible, a lot—and we do mean a lot—needs to happen. The Eagles would face serious financial consequences if they lost their top receiver.
According to Spotrac, Brown has a dead-cap value of more than $42 million in 2024 if he were released unconditionally. But according to Overthecap, a trade with a post-June 1 designation becomes much more appealing with just a $10.6 million dead-cap hit and almost $2 million in savings.
In the upcoming NFL Draft, the Colts are currently slated to pick No. 15 overall. When the Eagles traded for Brown from the Titans, they forfeited the 18th and 101st picks in the 2022 NFL Draft.
As a conversation starter, one would think the Eagles would demand the Colts’ first-round selection.
Last season, Brown collaborated with Shane Steichen, the head coach of the Colts, while serving as the offensive coordinator for the Eagles. In his lone season under Steichen, Brown recorded career highs of 1,496 yards and 11 touchdowns.
In March, Michael Pittman, a top wide receiver, will become a free agent. Although the Colts have the fifth-most available cap space in the NFL, according to Spotrac, he is due a sizable rise.
Were they able to pay for Pittman and A.J. Brown, who was 26 years old?
Yes.
Yes, they could.
For NFL fans, watching the Eagles crumble during the final two months of the season has been enjoyable. According to Bookies.com, the Colts have more cause than most to watch Philadelphia in the upcoming weeks.
