AJ Brown was one of the stars of the Philadelphia Eagles‘ 2025 Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Along with Jalen Hurts, they formed a remarkable duo on offense, so it would be hard to imagine the 27-year-old wide receiver leaving the team in the 2025 NFL season.
The Eagles stood out for their balanced offense and solid defense. Hurts, in his fifth year at quarterback, put up record numbers and proved he could be one of the league’s biggest stars. Brown was a big help, even if he made an off-field move that scared Philadelphia fans.
A few days ago, there were rumors of a possible trade between the Eagles and the New England Patriots, including Super Bowl champion Brown and draft picks in exchange. However, Philadelphia did not let the speculation grow and their star wide receiver will remain with the team, although they took the situation as a joke.
AJ Brown’s joke about rumors of team change
A.J. Brown, star wide receiver of the Eagles, caused a stir among fans when he posted a Patriots jersey on his social networks with the message: “The wait is finally over.” The gesture sparked speculation about a possible trade to the New England team.
However, as he turned the jersey over, Brown revealed that it was an item autographed by Julian Edelman, thus quashing rumors of his departure from the Eagles. The player clarified the situation with a smile, assuring that it was all a joke.
AJ Brown’s impact on the Eagles
Brown played a crucial role in the success of the Philadelphia Eagles, emerging as one of the most productive receivers in the league. He finished the regular season with 67 receptions for 1,079 yards and 7 touchdowns. His presence on the field contributed significantly to the offensive performance of the team he will be joining next season.
