The Patriots definitely need a competent wideout after releasing Stefon Diggs.

The New England Patriots have reportedly made an offer for wide receiver AJ Brown, which has been turned down.

Brown’s desire to leave Philadelphia has been the NFL’s worst-kept secret, although the team insists it wants to keep him.

“It’s really hard to find great players,” Eagles GM Roseman said last week, per The Athletic. “I think A.J. is a great player. I think from my perspective, we’re looking to improve in all areas, and you don’t do that by subtracting.”

“My expectation is he wants to be here,” head coach Nick Sirianni added. “You guys know me. I’m not gonna say, ‘Hey, here’s what I thought this player should have done.’ Like, just know I’m always communicating with our guys, whether it’s something on or off the field that’s going on.”

Dianna Russini, an insider with the aforementioned publication, reported on Friday morning that the Pats “have poked around” but the Eagles are “holding firm on their steep asking price.”

FOX’s Anthony Gargano is also claiming that the AFC Champions offered a first-round pick and a third-round pick in exchange for Brown.

“I hear it’s a one and a three, and Howie said no,” Gargano shared.

He wasn’t sure whether the first-rounder was for this year or next year.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers are monitoring the situation, according to Russini.

NFL Teams Frustrated By Eagles’ Intransigence Over AJ Brown

The Eagles’ asking price for Brown leaked a few days ago. It was revealed that the team would not move the player for anything less than a first-round pick, and even that was not enough to guarantee a deal.

If what Gargano reported is true, a third-round pick does not sweeten the pot for Philly.

Other reports suggest there is some frustration among other NFL teams over the Eagles’ required haul.

It’s probably going to take a one and a two to get them to budge.

NFL sideline reporter Melanie Collins is turning heads this week—not for her game-day coverage, but for her impressive fitness routine. As the 2025 NFL season approaches, Collins is already in peak shape, and she’s not shy about sharing her journey with fans.

Collins, who has been with CBS Sports since 2018, recently posted a workout video on Instagram that quickly went viral. The clip features her at The Tox in Nashville, where she took on the intense 60-minute Master Tox class. Dressed in a stylish all-blue fitness outfit, Collins powered through the session, showing off her dedication and athleticism.

“The 60-minute Master Tox treatment will rid your body of inflammation, leave your skin glowing and your muscles toned! Final result at the end,” she wrote in her caption, giving followers a glimpse into her health and wellness routine.

Fans were quick to react, flooding the comments section with praise, admiration, and a bit of envy. Many noted how Collins seemed to effortlessly combine her busy career with a commitment to fitness, inspiring others to step up their own routines.

Collins’ workout clip comes at a time when NFL personalities are increasingly sharing more of their personal lives and wellness journeys with fans. Her transparency and positive energy have made her a favorite among viewers, both on and off the field.

With the NFL season just a month away, Collins is clearly ready for the long days and high-energy coverage ahead. If her workout routine is any indication, she’ll be bringing the same intensity and glow to the sidelines this fall.

It’s been a long time since she’s been on NFL sidelines, working alongside play-by-play voice Kevin Harlan and analyst Trent Green. Before that, she cut her teeth covering college football and basketball on CBS Sports Network. She’s also spent time on ESPN, filling in for SportsNation and First Take.

But Collins isn’t just a familiar face on Sundays. Her resume includes the Winter Olympics, FIFA World Cup, Super Bowl, NBA Finals, World Series, you name it. She was also the face of Yahoo! Sports and hosted a few shows on the Golf Channel along the way.

This September, she’s set to open the season on the West Coast, covering the Houston Texans vs. Los Angeles Rams matchup. In Week 2, she’ll be reporting from the sidelines again, this time for the Denver Broncos vs. Indianapolis Colts game.

Collins knows how to get more attention each season. As she’s ready, fit, focused, and already trending, it seems that it will be a bit easier for her this time.
