The Philadelphia Eagles traded star wide receiver A.J. Brown to the New England Patriots on June 1, 2026. This blockbuster move immediately ignited debate across the sports podcast landscape about his legacy in Philly.
On Pardon My Take, co-host Hank Lockwood didn't hold back his praise for the departing wideout, revealing that when the trade went down, "When he got traded to, traded to the Patriots, I said he was the best receiver to ever play for the Eagles. He thinks so too. I have no problem with that." Lockwood's bold claim has sparked plenty of pushback from fans who still hold a candle for past franchise greats.
Meanwhile, the team is still keeping its name in the mix for lighter trivia. Over on The Pat McAfee Show, during a game of Pro Game Feud, analyst Mina Kimes quickly identified them when looking for animal-themed franchises, saying, "[sighs] I'm gonna go with one of the bird teams, the Philadelphia Eagles."
As the Philadelphia Eagles adjust to life without their top offensive weapon, the front office faces immense pressure to replace his production before the upcoming season kicks off.
