The Atlanta Falcons have obtained safety Sydney Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles through a trade involving draft selections, with both organizations making the announcement on Saturday.
The transaction involved swapping fourth- and sixth-round draft choices for next month’s NFL Draft. Philadelphia will receive selections numbered 114 and 197, while Atlanta gets picks 122 and 215.
Brown marked his 26th birthday on Saturday and was originally selected by Philadelphia in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
During the most recent season, he appeared in every game for the team with three starting assignments, recording 34 tackles. Throughout his career with the Super Bowl LIX champions, Brown has accumulated 86 tackles, two interceptions including one returned for a score, and two forced fumbles across 42 games with nine starts.
Brown’s position became surplus when Philadelphia brought back safety Marcus Epps and added former Pro Bowl safety J.T. Gray on reported one-year contracts. The Eagles also revealed these roster moves on Saturday.
