Eagles GM sticks to same script on A.J. Brown saga

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman stuck to the script when asked about the ongoing trade rumors surrounding star receiver A.J. Brown.

“I understand that there’s interest in the A.J. Brown story. I, unfortunately, don’t have a home under a rock,” he told reporters Sunday at the league meetings in Phoenix.

“But my answer to any question on A.J. Brown is A.J. Brown is a member of the Eagles. From my perspective, anything you ask me about A.J. Brown, I’m going to go right back to that answer. But I understand the interest. I put on TV and I see that there’s interest, but my answer is A.J. Brown is a member of the Philadelphia Eagles.”

Roseman gave a similarly guarded statement in January when asked about Philadelphia’s plans for Brown, whose frustrations with the offense have been well documented over the past couple of seasons.

“It is hard to find great players in the NFL, and A.J. is a great player,” Roseman said two months ago. “I think from my perspective, that’s what we’re going out and looking for when we go out here in free agency, in the draft, just trying to find great players who love football, and he’s that guy.”

The Eagles are in no rush to deal Brown, who has been linked to the New England Patriots this offseason. Their dead cap hit for trading him before June 1 is more than $40 million, compared to about $20 million after that date.

Brown, 28, averaged 72.5 catches and 1,041 receiving yards in the past two seasons, compared to 97.0 and 1,476 in his first two seasons with Philadelphia from 2022-23.

Reports: Eagles add WR Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown is signing a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, multiple media outlets reported on Tuesday.

The reported addition of one wide receiver with the last name of Brown comes as talks center about the possible departure of another in A.J. Brown. The Eagles also have DeVonta Smith, however the depth drops from there with Jahan Dotson, a returning-to-health Johnny Wilson and Darius Cooper in the wings.

Marquise Brown, 28, recorded 49 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns in 16 games (six starts) last season with the Kansas City Chiefs.

NFL Network reported his deal with Philadelphia is worth up to $6.5 million.

He has 371 catches for 4,322 yards and 33 touchdowns in 90 career games (72 starts) with the Baltimore Ravens (2019-21), Arizona Cardinals (2022-23) and Chiefs (2024-25). The Ravens drafted him 25th overall in 2019.

Report: Rams remain interested in Eagles WR A.J. Brown

Posted on | by Field Level Media

After signing wide receiver Davante Adams last offseason, the Los Angeles Rams remain interested in adding another veteran wideout in the Philadelphia Eagles’ A.J. Brown, The Athletic reported Friday.

The Rams and New England Patriots are reported to be interested in trading for Brown, who helped the Eagles to a Super Bowl title after the 2024 season but expressed frustration during the team’s 11-6 season in 2025.

Philadelphia lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the wild-card round.

While the Rams signed Adams as a free agent last March, he previously was traded from the Green Bay Packers to the Las Vegas Raiders before the 2022 season for a first-round and second-round pick. The Eagles reportedly are looking for a similar return for the 28-year-old Brown.

A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Brown had 78 receptions for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games (all starts) last season. In seven seasons for the Tennessee Titans (2019-21) and Eagles, Brown has 524 receptions for 8,029 yards and 56 TDs in 105 games (97 starts).

He has played in 13 career playoff games, catching 44 passes for 623 yards and five TDs.

Nick Sirianni: Eagles can’t guarantee A.J. Brown’s return

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said he “can’t guarantee” wide receiver A.J. Brown will play for Philadelphia next season.

Brown has topped 1,000 yards in all four of his seasons with the team but is the subject of trade speculation this offseason after repeatedly expressing his frustration with the offense in 2025.

Despite the frayed relationship, Sirianni said there is mutual interest in the three-time Pro Bowl selection continuing his career with Philadelphia.

“My expectation is he wants to be here. And obviously you want good players like that in your building,” Sirianni said during a session with local media, per ESPN.

“As (general manager) Howie (Roseman) said, it’s hard to get good players in this league. A.J.’s a great player and A.J. is a good teammate and A.J. is a good person. Does he want to be here? Yes. Do I want him to be here? Yes.”

When pressed about whether the 28-year-old Brown would be in an Eagles uniform in 2026, Sirianni provided a cautious answer.

“Will A.J. be here next season? I think we’re still in a spot, like, I can’t guarantee how anything is going to play out into next season,” Sirianni said. “I’m thinking I’m going to be the coach next season but you can’t guarantee anything past tomorrow.”

During a Super Bowl week appearance on Micah Parsons’ podcast, Brown called Philadelphia “home” and said he felt “fortunate” to be part of the team.

Brown has 339 catches for 5,034 yards and 32 touchdowns in 62 games in four seasons with the Eagles, winning a Super Bowl in the 2024 season and NFC East titles in 2022, 2024 and 2025.

Brown signed a three-year, $96 million extension ($84 million guaranteed) in April 2024. He carries a $23.4 million cap hit for the 2026 season.

Eagles GM Howie Roseman praises A.J. Brown amid uncertain future

Posted on | by Field Level Media

With A.J. Brown’s future in Philadelphia uncertain, Eagles GM Howie Roseman made it seem at least somewhat unlikely that the team would move on from the mercurial but effective wide receiver.

“It’s hard to find great players in the NFL, and A.J.’s a great player,” Roseman said on Thursday when asked if he’d consider trading Brown this offseason. “I think from my perspective, that’s what we’re going out and looking for when we go out here in free agency, in the draft, just trying to find great players who love football, and he’s that guy.”

Brown, a second-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft by Tennessee whom Philadelphia acquired in a trade ahead of the 2022 season, posted his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season for the Eagles in 2025 with 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns on 78 catches.

However, he had three catches for 25 yards and a pair of critical drops in Sunday’s 23-19 wild-card loss at home to the San Francisco 49ers.

Brown has also stirred up quite a bit of attention over the last few years with cryptic social media posts and public complaints about his role within the offense.

During the 49ers loss, Brown and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni were seen on the broadcast engaged in an intense sideline argument. Brown left before talking to reporters, but Sirianni said after the game it was related to getting Brown off the field for a punt and spoke of his love for Brown despite their occasional differences.

“I love A.J. I think he knows how I feel about him,” Sirianni said. “I have a special relationship with him. We’ve probably (gone) through every emotion you can possibly have together. We’ve laughed together, we’ve cried together, we’ve yelled at each other. We’re both emotional.

“I was trying to get him off the field, and that happens in this game. That happens in this game, but I love him.”

Brown signed a three-year extension with Philadelphia ahead of the 2024 season which locked him into a contract through 2029 and paid him $84 million guaranteed, a then-record for a wide receiver.

Eagles’ A.J. Brown, Jeffrey Lurie stage mid-practice meeting

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie met on the sidelines with receiver A.J. Brown in the middle of practice Thursday to discuss the three-time Pro Bowler’s disenchantment with the team’s offense.

According to reports, Lurie and Brown spent 10 minutes hashing out Brown’s complaints via social media and traditional media regarding his reduced role in the Eagles’ offense.

Brown earned second-team All-Pro recognition in each of his first three seasons with the Eagles, during which he was targeted 400 times for 261 receptions, 4,031 yards and 25 touchdowns over 47 games. That works out to 8.5 targets, 5.6 catches and 85.8 yards per game.

This season, Brown amassed just 54 targets, 31 catches and 408 yards in eight games heading into Sunday night’s matchup with the Detroit Lions — well below his usual numbers.

“It’s not just solely about my situation,” Brown said after Wednesday’s practice. “I want to win, too. I think if we’re really focused on winning and doing our job, we can’t just keep slapping a Band-Aid over the defense doing their job and getting us out of trouble. At what point are we going to pick up our slack as an offense?”

The Eagles (7-2) enter Week 11 with a commanding lead in the NFC East over the Dallas Cowboys (3-5-1), though their offense has been less impressive than in last year’s run to the Super Bowl title. Philadelphia ranks 12th in the NFL in scoring (24.2 points per game) but is 23rd in total offense (303.2 yards per game).

The Eagles’ defense stands 10th in points allowed (21.3 per game) and 18th in yards allowed (327.9 per game).

Also on Wednesday, Brown shared his personal frustration while playing a game of Madden NFL online. The stream captured Brown saying, “Family is good. Everything else, no. It’s a s–show.”

Eagles rule out WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) vs. Giants

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was ruled out for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants after missing each practice session this week with a hamstring injury.

Brown was bothered by a hamstring issue in the summer but has suited up for all seven games this season with the Eagles.

The three-time Pro Bowl selection had four receptions for 121 yards and two touchdowns in Philadelphia’s 28-22 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. He has 29 catches for 395 yards and three scores on the season.

Philadelphia (5-2) will also be without center Cam Jurgens (knee), linebacker Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) and cornerbacks Adoree’ Jackson (concussion) and Jakorian Bennett (pectoral) when it hosts New York (2-5). Bennett was a full participant at practice Friday but remains on injured reserve.

The Eagles also ruled out defensive end Brandon Graham, who recently came out of retirement to join Philadelphia for a 16th season. The two-time Super Bowl champion with 76.5 career sacks is still ramping up to playing condition.

Brown was bothered by a hamstring issue in the summer but has suited up for all seven games this season with the Eagles.

Reports: Eagles star WR A.J. Brown does not practice on Wednesday

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown was at practice only as an observer on Wednesday, according to multiple media reports.

Brown is coming off of his most productive game of the season on Sunday in a 28-22 road victory over the Minnesota Vikings. He caught four of six targets for season highs of 121 yards, two touchdowns, 30.3 yards per reception and a long of 45 yards.

Teammate DeVonta Smith hauled in nine of 11 targets for 183 yards — all season highs — with one TD.

A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Brown has on occasion expressed his frustration with his role in the Eagles’ offense, which can be heavy on the running game and inconsistent in the passing attack despite overall success for the defending Super Bowl champions.

Brown was not targeted until the final drive of the game in the Eagles’ season-opening win over the Dallas Cowboys. He caught an 8-yard pass to help Philadelphia seal the 24-20 victory.

After catching five passes for just 27 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs and having a six-reception, 109-yard performance against the Los Angeles Rams, Brown saw nine targets but hauled in only two for 7 yards in Philadelphia’s 31-25 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 28.

Brown declined to speak with reporters after the game, then posted to X a modern translation of a Bible passage that read: “If you’re not welcomed, not listened to, quietly withdraw. Don’t make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way.”

That cryptic communication created a lot of attention on the Eagles’ offense, as did a supposed meeting between Brown, quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley in the days following a 21-17 home loss to the Denver Browns on Oct. 5. Hurts and Barkley said they talked with Brown, who was more elusive about the details before later clarifying that it was an informal chat in the parking lot.

Brown, 28, gained at least 1,079 yards in each of his first three seasons with the Eagles and helped them win Super Bowl LIX, with 12 catches for 163 yards and two touchdowns over four playoff games last winter. He has 29 catches for 395 yards and three scores this season.

The Eagles (5-2) host the New York Giants (2-5) on Sunday. New York defeated Philadelphia 34-17 on Oct. 9.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown clarifies comments about ‘meeting’

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown took to social media on Friday to clarify his postgame comments about failing to recall if he met with quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley to address the team’s issues on offense.

The “meeting” reportedly occurred on Monday, one day after the Eagles’ 21-17 loss to the Denver Broncos.

Both Barkley and Hurts confirmed the meeting took place, with Barkley saying it was a “good thing” and stressed that it was not a traditional players-only meeting in which “all hell’s breaking loose.”

Brown, however, had a different answer when approached by reporters after the Eagles dropped a 34-17 decision to the New York Giants on Thursday.

“I don’t recall a meeting. I don’t know what you’re talking about it,” Brown told reporters with a smile. “You need to talk to them. I don’t recall. I don’t recall.”

Brown tried a different approach on Friday.

“Just to clear this up. That wasn’t a meeting or a sit-down,” Brown wrote in a post to X. ” I said ‘I don’t recall’ because it got painted like there was tension and (Saquon) had to step in. That’s not true. I was walking to my car, saw them, and stopped to talk. Nothing more.”

Brown, 28, has 25 catches for 274 yards and one touchdown in six games this season for Philadelphia (4-2).

Brown has compiled at least 1,079 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons with the Eagles and helped them win Super Bowl LIX, with 12 catches for 163 yards and two touchdowns over four playoff games last winter.
