The Tennessee Titans traded A.J Brown to the philadelphia Eagles in return for the No. 18 overall pick and a third round pick {No.101} in the 2022 NFL draft, per NFL Network’s Tom Peliserro. Titans GM Jon Robinson did not “forsee” trading the star wideout but a week later he was then shipped out a week later.
In Brown’s three seasons with the Titans he accumulated 185 catches for 2,995 reviewing yards with 24 touchdowns as being seen as one of the top playmakers in the league Brown was looking for a big payday entering the final year of his rookie contract, apparently the Titans want to pay that heavy price Brown was looking for.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rappaport the Eagles and Brown agreed to a four year $100 million dollar contract with $57 million guaranteed. Making Brown one of the highest paid receivers in the league, matching his production.
“We got to a spot where it was going to be hard to get a deal done [with Brown],” Robinson explained on Thursday night, via the team website’s Jim Wyatt. In a since-deleted tweet, Brown said goodbye to Titans fans and noted that the trade wasn’t his fault. “Tennessee I love you and you will forever be in my heart and I can say this now,” Brown wrote. “THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT. But I wish you all the best. Love”
With Brown now a part of the Eagles, Philadelphia fans have something to be excited for this upcoming season. Eagles GM Howie Roseman has made some big moves this offseason with trading for A.J Brown, drafting future star interior D lineman Jordan Davis, and trading down for future compensation with the Saints, this Eagles team could make a big jump next season.
