AJ Brown Trade Rumors Denied by Eagles Insider: 'We Haven't Discussed It'

Despite some cryptic social-media activity late in the season from AJ Brown, the Philadelphia Eagles aren't looking to move on from the star wide receiver.

Per NFL reporter Benjamin Allbright, one Eagles person said definitively "we haven't discussed it" when asked about the possibility of trading Brown.

In the days leading up to Philadelphia's playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brown caused a stir deleted a mentions of the Eagles and football from his Instagram page.

It's not uncommon for athletes to do that type of thing, and it doesn't always mean there's a problem between the player and their organization.

Brown didn't exactly quiet the speculation about his future on Wednesday during an appearance on the Up & Adams Show with Kay Adams.

In an interview with Olivia Reiner of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Brown did express confidence in head coach Nick Sirianni's ability to get the Eagles back on track after a rough finish this season:

"We wouldn't be where we are if it wasn't for him. He's a great teacher, great coach, great person. Me, I don't have any doubt. I don't think the team has any doubt. I think it was just Philly media, fans, or whatever, they just have the question because it didn't end the way we all would like. But sometimes you go through adversity. Sometimes some stuff is just not meant for you at that right time and you've just got to weather that storm. You can't let your confidence waver, either. I haven't seen his confidence waver. My confidence has definitely not wavered."

Brown was unable to play in the playoff loss to the Buccaneers due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 18 against the New York Giants.

There were questions about Sirianni's job status after the 32-9 defeat against Tampa Bay, but the Eagles announced on Jan. 25 he was returning for his fourth season.

Philadelphia's coaching staff has undergone significant chances since the end of the season. Offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, defensive coordinator Sean Desai and senior defensive assistant Matt Patricia were let go. Kellen Moore (offensive coordinator) and Vic Fangio (defensive coordinator) were brought in.

Brown still has three years remaining on the four-year, $100 million extension he signed with the Eagles after being acquired from the Tennessee Titans in April 2022.

The partnership between Brown and the Eagles has been mutually beneficial. He's racked up 2,952 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns in 34 games over the past two seasons.

Philadelphia advanced to the Super Bowl during the 2022 season. He caught six passes for 96 yards and one touchdown in the 38-35 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 57.
