One of the biggest potential names on the trade market this NFL offseason is Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown.

Frustration over a lack of targets during Philadelphia’s struggles in the passing game last season has fueled speculation about whether Brown might push for a move this offseason — even though he’s under contract with the Eagles through 2029.

If Brown does end up being dealt, one team that continues to emerge as a potential suitor is the Baltimore Ravens. Those rumors were further fueled on Wednesday when Brown’s former teammate — Ravens running back Derrick Henry — sent a message to Brown, sparking talk of a possible reunion in Baltimore after the two spent three seasons together with the Tennessee Titans from 2019 to 2021.

“We’d gladly love to have him,” Henry said via Up & Adams Show With Kay Adams. “A.J.’s a dog. I played with A.J. in Tennessee, and [Lamar Jackson] loves playing with guys who have that dog mentality.

“Please, A.J., come to Baltimore. Let’s go get this ring. You got one in Philly — y’all did that. Now come to Baltimore.”

Baltimore could use some additional outside production for star quarterback Lamar Jackson beyond their lone 1,000-yard receiver last season, Zay Flowers.

In seven NFL seasons, Brown has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards six times and recorded at least five touchdowns in every year of his career — numbers that could bring a new dynamic to an already explosive Ravens offense.
