It’s become increasingly clear that A.J. Brown no longer wants to be with the Philadelphia Eagles. However, where he ends up next is yet to be seen.
Brown had a face-to-face altercation with head coach Nick Sirianni on the sidelines during the Eagles’ Wild Card Round loss in January, declined to speak to the press after the game, reportedly hugged several teammates, and immediately left the team’s facilities, leaving his future with the franchise in doubt.
Brown is under contract with the Eagles through 2029, so he will need to be traded if he wants to move elsewhere. This week, Brown has shared some indicators on social media about exactly where he wants to be.
Green recently followed New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart and wide receiver Malik Nabers on Instagram, and then appeared on his Instagram story in a Giants t-shirt. Those seem like pretty good signs that Brown has a desired trade destination in mind.
But the Eagles might not be enthusiastic about the idea of shipping Brown off to a divisional rival in the Giants. Brown is a three-time All-Pro selection and has tallied 1,000-or-more receiving yards in six of his seven seasons, and that’s not the type of talent you want to see twice a season on the gridiron. It will be interesting to see whether Brown is traded this offseason and, if so, where he ends up.
