The Atlanta Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed on a trade that would send safety Sydney Brown from Philadelphia to Atlanta for a swap of draft picks, two people with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.
Both people spoke on condition of anonymity Friday because the trade hasn’t been announced.
The Eagles will receive picks in the fourth (No. 114) and sixth (No. 197) rounds of next month’s draft in Pittsburgh, while the Falcons get Brown and picks No. 122 and 215.
Brown, a 5-foot-10, 211-pound former Illinois standout, was a third-round pick in the 2023 draft. As a rookie, he started nine games and had two interceptions, including a 99-yard return for a touchdown.
Brown was a key contributor on special teams during his three years in Philadelphia, which included the Eagles winning Super Bowl LIX to cap the 2024 season, and he played 76% of the snaps on that unit last year.
