A.J. Brown Deactivates Twitter Account as Eagles Trade Could Finalize After 4:01 p.m. ET

A.J. Brown’s Twitter account, @1kalwaysopen_, is no longer active as expectations build that Philadelphia will trade the receiver before he starts a fifth season with the Eagles.
4:01 p.m. ET Monday is the key threshold: a deal could be reported before then, but it cannot be finalized until that window opens, with official completion not coming until Tuesday.
Mike Vrabel’s Patriots are widely viewed as Brown’s most likely destination, and an early deal would let New England get him into two more weeks of OTAs before its June 15-17 mandatory minicamp.
For Philadelphia, waiting until the post-4:01 p.m. ET window also opens the option to spread Brown’s dead-money charge over two years, shaping the timing of any agreement.
Is trading A.J. Brown a brilliant cap move or a devastating blow to Philadelphia's Super Bowl hopes?
Can the reunion with coach Mike Vrabel make A.J. Brown the offensive cornerstone New England desperately needs?
With a trade framework set, who really holds the leverage: the Eagles or the receiver-needy Patriots?
