Nick Sirianni addresses Eagles trading A.J. Brown

“I would say there was a lot of good years here, and done a lot of good things with A.J. [Brown] here — two times to the Super Bowl, I think he was All-Pro multiple times, Pro Bowl multiple times. So, I would say it was a great run.
But, [I’m] really excited about that room that we have. DeVonta Smith has had a really good offseason, has had, what, five good years of being an Eagle, as well. Very, very productive and excited he’s going to get extra opportunities that he worked so hard to be able to convert that.
Really excited about Makai [Lemon] and where he is this offseason. And just has ability to catch the football, has toughness, I think that’s a great addition to that room.
[Dontayvion] Wicks, I just think he has a very unique skillset of being able to get in and out of breaks and be really efficient at the line of scrimmage. For a guy that I’ve coached, he has a little Keenan Allen to him, and to his game.
[Hollywood Brown] and Elijah [Moore], really been excited to coach those guys for a long time. They have unique skillsets. [Hollywood] has great, great speed and excellent hands, and Elijah is just so quick at the top of his route.
And then, Darius Cooper and Johnny Wilson just have that ability to be kind of the dirty work guys that we’ve so valued in our offense, and I’ll always value that in an offensive receiver that can do some of the dirty work and do some of the other things from that.“
