Eagles Reaffirm A.J. Brown’s Status as WR Frustrations Over Run-Heavy Offense Grow

Philadelphia signals no trade after meetings about usage in a passing game that has fueled dissatisfaction.

Overview

  • After a cryptic post, A.J. Brown took accountability and said he wants to stay in Philadelphia.
  • DeVonta Smith publicly backed Brown and said the offense needs to be better.
  • Coach Nick Sirianni and GM Howie Roseman met with Brown, and NFL.com reports the Eagles are not planning to trade him, though rival executives are monitoring the situation.
  • League reporting ties the discontent to a run-first approach that has left the 4-0 Eagles near the bottom in total and passing yards and has limited red-zone chances for receivers.
  • NFL.com reports to expect Jalen Hurts to target Brown early against Denver as the staff works to reengage its top wideout.
