A.J. Brown received great news from the Eagles recently. A few days ago, the NFC East team signed the wideout to a lucrative contract extension, one he had been seeking for a long time.

During this offseason, rumors circulated that the player was discontent with the team’s handling of his contract. However, the club addressed the issue by not only granting him a new deal but also offering a lucrative one.

Brown signed a 3-year, $96 million contract extension, solidifying his status as the highest-paid wide receiver in the league. With this deal, the former 51st overall pick is determined to demonstrate that he’s deserving of such a title.

“Nothing,” Brown said when asked if the extension will change something about his gameplay. “I wanna prove it. Again, it’s a blessing from what I can say. But we don’t play on paper and nobody cares what’s in the bank account when you step in between them lines.”

Why did the Eagles give A.J. Brown a contract extension?

A.J. Brown has undoubtedly earned this new contract extension. The wide receiver holds the top two seasons in receiving yards by a player in franchise history, establishing himself as a crucial component in Jalen Hurts’s offense.

The three-time Pro Bowler has recorded two consecutive seasons with over 1,400 yards. With the Eagles boasting one of the best offenses in the NFC, the former Titans player is viewed as a crucial piece for achieving success.
